Post subject:  Bad quality pics - Nvidia Control Panel gone?
I got this program from the driving school where you can practice questions. For some questions there are pics with eg trafiic situations that can arise. The problem is that the quality of the pictures is really bad (you cannot read traffic signs properly cause they are pixeld etc). I believe it has something to do with the Nvidia Control Panel, because I remember changing some settings there some time ago. The problem is, that the Control Panel is now somehow "semi-gone".

That's what it looks like now:
And that's what it used to look like:
I updated my gfx drivers some weeks ago which is the only really major change I did to my PC for quite some time. Has anyone got an idea how to get that back to normal?

did you ever download their nTune utility (the things for overclocking the grahics card)? it's integrated into the control panel so it might have something to do with it. but that's mostly taking a stab in the dark.

I tried downloading the nTune Utility now and indeed my control panel became a little bigger, but that still wasn't what I was looking for.

Current appearance:
(Leistung = Performance, Speichern = Save, System-Stabilität = System Stability)

I'm missing the things like 3D settings, Display and Video & Television (I believe the setting I changed was among 3D settings).

Maybe use registry entry and restore old nvidia panel look ? Might help
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Create new text document, paste it inside, rename to whatever.reg to create registry file;)

... and doubleclick it to grant Bartg full access to your system. :ugly:

Edit: To add something to the topic: Isn't there a nvidia sys clean up utility to get rid of any nv stuff to start all over again with the drivers?
