    Guys,

    For no apparent reason I lost my CoD4 Profile today (most annoying as I was busy ranking up) and now I have a semi transparent SLI Performance Bar permanently showing on the left hand side of the screen when playing.

    Most distracting during play and plain ugly. :mad:

    Anyone know how to get rid of this? :confused:

    Ta,

    Clean.

    I am not quite sure what drivers you are using, but I am assuming most of them work the same.

    Here is what you should try..

    Right click on your desktop, then click Nvidia Control Panel or Settings
    There should then be a few tabs up on the top of the list, one of them should be related to SLI, then click it.

    You should then see two options, Enable SLI, and Disable SLI, ignore those and instead go to the top of the application bar or whatever you call it (that area below the minimize and maximize and exit options) and look for something like tools or options in that list there should be something called enable/disable SLI visual indicator, turn it off from there. I apologize if this does not fix your problem, I would try to be of more help but I am shipping my laptop back for repairs so I am at a loss as to where some of these things are located.

    Right click on your desktop, then click Nvidia control panel.
    On the top, you will see 3D settings/parameters (Mine is in different language, so I'm not sure how excactly it's calle in english), and there will be only one option there. Untick it.

    This should disable the SLI bar
