animations

I am relatively new to ubuntu [I've used it before and loved it but one day i just randomly couldn't connect to the internet anymore so i switched back to windows... also netflix doesn't work in ubuntu...] and I've noticed that when i used it before everything ran very smoothly and the window animations and stuff like that were just beautiful. now though, everything is choppy and just ugly really. I wanna say its because i was using an older kernel but i really don't know.

Anyway, i guess my point is, How can i get it to look pretty again? i really do wish i could be more descriptive but... yeah...

I'm on Maverick btw. if anymore information is required i will happily oblige, just let me know.
