I have tried them all. If I remember correctly, with the no effects choice, I lose compiz also. I have looked at Cairo. It is nice, but I am just discussing the out of the box install. I can understand a corrupt install [once], I have had it happen a couple of times in the last 20+ years with Windows, but three times with Zorin and within a month? It seems that with the level of technology and expectations of customers for a product to work as stated, they should have tested everything better, and it is not only me that has had this problem, so I know that it is not "me" that is doing something wrong. But with the work around I have used, everything seems to be working on my desktop. My wife'slaptop, the taskbar displays, but the clock/date/name doesn't display. The wireles signal and the language [icon] display, but that is all that displays on the right side. I wish I knew how and if I could edit some file to get the time/date/name to display.
I am new to Linux. I have only been [playing] with various distros for about 6 years now. I really like the Zorin distro and want to continue with "IT", but as long as Zorin and Linux as a whole are quirky, I am keeping my copy of Windows on my computer as well.
