Hi guys,
I posted this in the technical questions sticky but haven't had a reply and I have pretty much lost the ability to game or anything like that on my M11xR2. I seem to have run into quite a snag while updating the drivers.
In my quest to optimize battery life on my M11xR2 I decided to install the Nvidia drivers on the Dell website to see if changing from the 258.69 drivers would have any effect. So when I uninstalled, driver swept and reinstalled like I normally would a message appeared halfway through installing the drivers saying that Nvidia Control Panel could not be found and it would revert back to the latest installed drivers that worked.
After rebooting like I was instructed, the drivers that were automatically installed were Standard VGA Video Adapter. I thought this was a bit weird so I tried to install the 258.69 drivers again but got the same message in the installation.
This is really annoying and weird as I now have no control over the Nvidia GT 335 graphics card as the Nvidia control panel is nowhere to be found. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem as well or if someone could please help me out?
Thanks... (from one devo soul)

Don't worry, I've figured it out!
I had accidentally disabled Windows Installer in services.msc and that was what was stopping me updating drivers. It's all fine now.
Thanks anyway...
What happened to my Nvidia Control Panel?
