    I just bought my R2 and did a fresh install of Win7 Pro64 and when I installed the NVidia drivers I don't get the control panel in the system tray (I show all tray icons all the time). I installed 258.66, then I tried the 267 beta drivers, then I tried the 260.99 that everyone seems to like here and no luck.

    The only things I have installed are SP1 and Office 2010 at this point.

    Are you referring to the GPU indicator icon? You have to open the NV control panel, go to the 'desktop' drop down and select 'Display GPU activity icon in notification area.'
