Hi

I can see on the restricted section that it's say the drive is enabled 
and I only had to check the checkbox to enable it, after rebooting, I go 
to appearance section, then visual effects and I keep getting that the 
effects could not be enable message, I have looked on the logs, but 
nothing is showing up, any other idea I could try?

Thanks again
