Title: Where's my control panel?
Post by: Motherland on June 14, 2009, 01:13:54 PM

I downloaded the newest drivers from NVIDIA on my W7 RC Build 7100 machine, and quite simply now I can't locate the NVIDIA control panel. And playing Aces High sucks without antialiasing.

Dumb question but check control panel?

Could always do a simple search in windows search.

There is also right click windows screen.

Those are the 3 ways I know that you can find it.

"Dumb question but check control panel?"
Did that.

"There is also right click windows screen."
Did that.

"Could always do a simple search in windows search."
Tried that.

I'm thinking it didn't install the control panel somehow... is there some way I can install it separately?

I have NO IDEA how the GUI works in Windows 7, but in XP you can always get to it by the right-clicking the desktop. Or, under Display>Settings>Advanced>then the tab with that card's name on it. I don't know where the equivalents to those would be, though.

Could always try reinstalling the drivers...think that is how the control panel is included.

You could check if it is disabled.

I had the drivers before, both on my XP and W7 partition, with a functioning control panel so I know where it should be normally... but for some reason it's not there.


I'll check those links out Charge, thanks.
