    Angry Win7Ult.-7900GTO drivers won't install/No access to Nvidia control panel

    Hello DAL,

    Back again with some driver and software issues. I need to turn down my hardware acceleration a little to get my encoder program to work properly.

    When attempting to access the Nvidia Control panel:

    I have no desktop>right cick option

    I have the NvCpl files, but they won't work. I double click and they do nothing.

    I have no options (that i know of) in control panel for Nvidia

    I have no options or listing in msconfig or uninstall for nvidia

    When I go to install new drivers, so I can get the control panel working. I tried to install the newest and an older driver but it says that the driver I'm trying to install is not compatible. I tried a couple different compatibility modes but couldn't get anything to work.

    When I tried to install the new drivers I did the following steps:


    Uninstall in device manager
    Reboot
    Attempt to Install new/old driver

    Drivers I tried to install:
    (185.85_desktop_win7_32bit_english_whql)
    (191.07_desktop_win7_winvista_32bit_english_whql(2 ))

    My desktop view-
    Yfrog - desktopu
    Same different sizes::

    I'm stumped. The driver works fine but I don't have the software.

    Any help or suggestions would be...........DYNO-MITE!

    The old drivers need to be uninstalled via the Control Panel > Programs and Features > Nvidia > Display Only

    Afterwords try to reinstall the latest driver.

    I do not have Control Panel > Programs and Features > Nvidia > Display Only path

    I get no results for control panel search for Nvidia.

    Windows control panel.

    START > Control Panel > etc.

    If you do not see it right click START and choose Properties > Start Menu > Customize > Control Panel > Display as a Menu

    Try Windows Update.

    Nvidia offered some drivers there for 7.
