The Composite Extension is not available...

[Rick Barry]

When I go to:
System --> Preferences --> Appearance -->
 Visual Effects and choose "Normal" (default setting
is none),
I get the dialog stated in the subject line of this
post.

Then the Appearance Dialog Box is frozen and I have to
use "force quit" or a restart to get rid of it.

I'm using an ATI card with restricted drivers if that
is of any significance. 

What am I missing?

Thank you.
