nVidia G96 [GeForce 9500 GT] no Compiz on Arch 64bit

Hi,
When I try and enable Compiz via Compiz Fusion Icon the windows freeze and I have to select Metacity again in Compiz Fusion Icon to restore normal function.

Here is the output of my 'compiz-check'

[neil@archbox ~]$ compiz-check

All looks OK above but what could I be misssing?
Is there perhaps something I havn't installed on this new install?

no idea about your problem but you may want to change your topic title to something relevant to your issue.

Make sure compiz-manager is installed and post the output of 'compiz-manager'

Also make sure you have the move, resize, decoration and place plugins enabled in ccsm

Hoorah!:D

Compiz-Manager was not installed and ccsm set as advised.

Compiz-Manager output;

Now is there anything else I need to do to make this all happen automagically when I reboot/logout?

Thanks again some-guy94!
