As actionparsnip pointed out, you may need to install the proprietary driver for your video card. Using the utility he pointed out, you can have the driver automatically downloaded and installed. After you do this, you should be able to enable the desktop effects. Please note that because these drivers are proprietary, only the company providing the driver (Nvidia) can provide fixes for bugs and security holes.

You may also download the Linux driver from Nvidia's website, however I recommend you use the Hardware Drivers utility.

Can you help with this problem?
