Desktop effects wont turn off


I made the mistake of turning desktop effects on which slows down my computer. Now the problem is i cant turn it off.

I deselect "enable desktop effects," absolutely nothing happens as a result.

I tried tricking it by checking enable again than when it offers that 10 seconds to keep the settings, chosing not to, and desktop effects shut off finally but within 2-5 seconds reactivate.

It's as if posessed. Howcome it is unresponsive to turning off??? and turns on by itself??
