theevilbeast (evil-beast-the-great) wrote : compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in calloc()

I have problems with alt+tab. When I use it the bars where are (close,minimize and maximize) disappear. And compiz is not even installed. I installed it and try to make some changes but it almost always crashes and I can't even reboot with terminal. System freezes. I thing maybe is something to do with VGA drivers, because when I installed 12.10 when I move windows they appear to lag like I have low fps. My VGA is nvidia 450GTS and now I am with 295 .20 drivers which I install from app "additional drivers".
