    After fixing a ton of driver problems/network driver problems with my M17x, I cant access the graphics settings part of the nvidia control panel. It just shows network options. I also cant put sli on either.

    I only experience this when the install is corrupted and something goes wrong, I just install another driver instead.

    corrupted driver.. i had this problem before... i did this to solve the problem..

    Uninstalled all drivers. Went safe mode and ran drive sweeper and cc cleaner to get rid of all traces of old drivers.

    Downloaded and installed 195.62 drivers.

    That should solve ur problem.
