To get Compiz Fusion up and running you need to install your Restricted Drivers.

System>Administration>Hardware Drivers

Restart your PC, then to enable Compiz Fusion open a terminal.

Applications>Accessories>Terminal then copy and paste

sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager

Then hit enter.

You may also like to install Emerald, again in the Terminal copy and paste

sudo apt-get install emerald

Then hit enter.
