If your 3D is not working...

If you are still not getting the suave looks of Ubuntu Reloaded check out a few key combinations. Like Win+E (Expose), hold Ctrl+Alt and grab your desktop with your mouse (that should give you the rotating cube), try moving your mouse to the extreme bottom left or right corners of your screen (that should show alll the open windows). If some of these don't work you'll need to follow these instructions. Note that these steps should be followed only after you enable Restricted Drivers. Goto System > Preferences > Appearance and select the 'Visual Effects' tab. Now select Custom. Your screen will reload. Now select the Preferences button right beside it. It will open the CompizConfig Seting Manager. Click the Preferences button in the bottom left of the window. Now press the 'Import' button. it should open your home directory. There you will find a file named 'UbuntuReloadedDefaultCompizProfile.profile'. Double click on it. And we are done. Note that you'll need to follow these same steps if you play around with the 3D configs a bit and break something. Don''t panic, you got your back-up in us! Just don't lose that 'UbuntuReloadedDefaultCompizProfile.profile' file :)

Its yours !
