Thanks Colin
The thought had crossed my mind that it may be the nvidia driver as that 
is the only common denominator for 3 of the machines.
I would have thought that it would have been sorted out between 11.10, 
12,04 and now 12.10. Especially since 12.10 has a brand new updated 
nvidia driver installed during the upgrade yesterday.

Yes all three have the problem of the monitor going greyed out and 
compiz wanting to send the error to whoever?
