    I just downloaded the 185.20 display drivers and the modified inf for the
    9800m gts. Everything seems to have installed fine, but now I have a problem with the nVidia control panel. When I try to change settings for some applications, it won't let me. I'll try to change anti-aliasing from 4x to 2x, but it'll just keep it at 4x. After that, when I try to click on a drop menu, it'll just display a blue line underneath that menu, but none of the menu options. And it only does this for games it seems. For my browsers, I can access and change all the options, but it doesn't really matter there. I can't afford 4x anti-aliasing on some of the games I'm running, so I really need to get this fixed.

    Oh yeah, and "Description" and "Typical usage scenarios" are blank on game applications for each drop down box.

    185.20 is bugged, and won't let you change any menu options. I like the driver's performance, but I had to uninstall it over this issue. Try 179.28 or 181.20 instead, both great drivers.
