    Reviewing 191.07 (Oct 29, 2009)

    While the driver works fine, somewhere along the line the Nvidia Control Panel has been rendered useless for some built in video models, for instance I'm using a Nvidia 630i/7100 MGPU and the Nvidia Control Panel will no longer open.

    This means I no longer have access to detailed configurations or controls like acceleration, performance vs. quality settings or color control. I've tried everything, including a fresh OS install. I've notified both the board manufacturer and Nvidia, both who claim Windows 7 certification with said driver and chipset however neither of them seem to be able to isolate or iron out the problem.

    So for the record, if you're using Windows 7 64bit and the Nvidia 630i 7100 chipset, upgrade your drivers ONLY if you don't need access to your settings, as the Nvidia Control Panel no longer works for this chipset.

    This is the first time I believe ever that I've installed graphics drivers and not had to restart my machine. Quite amazing.

    I've had flawless performance with all of this latest series of drivers. And under Windows 7 (and I'm assuming Vista), I don't even have to close my web browser to fully update the drivers, much less reboot.

    Also, I've had no problems with letting the Nvidia installer handle the update process rather than manually uninstalling the old drivers every time.

    It all took roughly 30 seconds with my 8800 GTX

    Instalation is pain in a ass. Taked 6 minutes, and make no changes. 8800GTS
