    Has anyone had a problem getting the Nvidia Control Panel working on a laptop running a non supported upgrade like a 980m into an Alienware 17.

    For whatever reason I can't get the control panel back at all unless I run much older drivers.

    Clean installing makes no difference.

    Thanks, thought it was worth a shot :)
