    So, I'm not sure why...but suddenly all the settings for all these games that were initially there when I installed the drivers...are gone?!?

    What is worse is that I can add an .EXE to the override list, but NCP will not remember that setting the next time I open the control panel.

    Any ideas?

    Also, can someone tell me what the default Global Settings are? I've changed them so many times I have forgotten!

    Yeah, the only driver that allows me to use the control panel correctly is 163.44. I have no idea why and I've researched the issue as well but I haven't found anything. I'm using 101.38 right now so I can overclock my 8600, but the control panel doesn't work. 101.38 is even released as an official driver for my computer by Asus. Just letting you know you aren't alone on this one, and if anyone has any fix for it, it would be greatly appreciated!
