nvidia control panel not working properly

[saguy]

I open up nvidia control panel and the only settings I see are Video and Television. This is a clean install of forceware as i have just come from a ati graphics card. How do I enable the other settings.

Please some help - I have got a brand new 8800 GTS which is not of much use at the moment.

What driver version are you using? Latest download or CD?

Aren't the display settings available under "Video" ?

If you want to overclock through the CP, you must install nTune first. Once nTune is installed, the performance options become available in the CP.

I'm using the latest 158.22. It's not even a matter of overclocking - all the normal seetings are missing when I open the control panel other than Video & TV settings.

Did you uninstall the ATi drivers and control panel, and then use Driver Cleaner to get rid of the ATi system files? You must get rid of all traces of old drivers before installing the new ones.

Yep, clean as a whistle.

It's very tempermental. i find when i load it, sometimes i dont get the performance options. I dont really know why. I just close it for a few mins and try again?

Did you run the nvidia 'setup' program to install the drivers automatically, or do it manually using the Display_Properties 'Update Driver'? If you did it manually, try running the setup.exe included with the drivers.

If that's not the problem, you could try the Forceware 160.02 WHQL drivers:
