    hi everyone

    i just went through the process of changing my drivers from 169.04 to the 169.28 , done it all properly by uninstalling and restarting and used driver cleaner and cc cleaner and even vista manager 1 click cleaner etc

    but ive noticed all previous settings are the same, and now also the overclocking function has dissapeared from the control pannel menu

    so for that alone i have to change them back coz i want to be able to overclock when needed

    but before i change them, does anyone know how i completly wipe the settings ??

    im gonna give tweakforce and omega drivers a test out

    also...just form no where in the last day or 2 ive had a problem arrise - i have my laptop connected to an external hdtv, and when i closed the lid previously its always still stayed on the big screen, but now when i closen the lid it turns of the external screen also ,ive been through the power and ultiple display options and tried and changed all that,but it still happened even tho it was set not to

    it was driving me mad, and when i uninstalled the nvidea drivers i gave it a quick test,and it was ok as it should be, so its something to do with the nvidea settings but ive not changed any, hence why i need to change back and clear all the settings ?? !!!


    thanks all
