I've installed Nvidia's latest driver for my geforce go 7700 512mb but i can't enable visual effects..
Any ideas why?

Thanks in advance

If by visual effects you mean the 3D effects on your desktop and the cube,
you need to configure Compiz fusion.
For a how-to look in the Themes, Wallpapers & Logos section

I’ve configured Compiz Fusion like you suggested but that didn’t fix the problem.

When I select normal or extra effects the display flickers and a msg box pops up saying “desktop effects could not be enabled”

Tried re-installing the driver but that didn’t help

Check to see if glx is enabled...
Applications/System Tools/Nvidia Settings
under "X Screen 0" select "Open GL/GLX Information"
should have...
Direct rendering.... yes
GLX extensions..... (should see a long list)
If none of this is there, glx is not enabled.

if all of that looks good...
Copy the contents of "xorg.conf" (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) (capitol X in X11)
paste it in a post
***WARNING***DO NOT EDIT xorg.conf

Problem solved.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it using the terminal.

Glad to hear you got it going.
