desktop-effects will not load successfully!

when running "desktop-effects" in terminal i get

Code:
gnome-window-decorator: Screen 0 on display ":0.0" already has a decoration manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current decoration manager.
compiz: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
compiz: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz: No managable screens found on display :0.0
i have nvidia drivers installed and the system is up to date!

Any ideas?

Hello:
You will need to post your xorg.conf file
and
do you have the 1.0.9626 drivers installed?

i have just done some more research on this and realised that my version of the nvidia package does not support GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap (Version: 1.0.8776).
I am currently downloading the beta package which does support it (Version: 1.0.9625).
Wish me luck and any instructions or similar stories are welcome.
