How did you install, from DVD?  If so, Synaptic may still have an entry 
for that very same DVD.  Compiz will be there.  Put the DVD in and 
launch Synaptic and then you can install what you need.  If you don't 
have a DVD, you can use your parents machine to download and burn it if 
they'll let you...
