    Hi

    Does anyone have the same problem as mine? There used to be a Nvidia Control Panel which you can change all kinds of settings (3D, performance, contrast, brightness etc) for your graphics. Mine is Geforce G0 6100. However, after I upgraded to Windows Vista Home basic, the control panel is empty, there is nothing I can change.

    I've search so many forum and have updated my driver but still don't work, any suggestion?

    Many thanx

    Hello. I just bought an HP DV9220US and it has Vista and the Geforce Go 7600. I too, have no Nvidia Control Panel under advance setting. The panel appears, but nothing there. Blank inside. Just to let you know you are not crazy. :D

    I found a solution eventually, I download the Nvidia driver from www.laptopvideo2go.com 's forum, the version 100.58 works perfectly and now I can access the nVidia control panel :) Cheers

    I had some serious issues with the Control Panel (even on my 8600m GT) until I reached the 163.XX drivers. Now it works just fine, 163.44. Before, it would either crash my computer if I even tried to open it, or it would open about 6 minutes after clicking on "Nvidia Control Panel."
