NVIDIA Option On The Control Panel Has Disappeared?
Oct 2, 2012
I bought a new monitor. Setting it up, the NVIDIA option on the control panel has disappeared.Instead, I have the Windows control panel for setting up a monitor, and the nVIDIA device driver for the monitor has disappeared. (There used to be two, the Intel 4 chipset for integrated graphics, and a second one for the nVIDIA device.)The Intel 4 device now lists "NVIDIA" as the manufacturer, NVIDIA is listed as the driver provider (driver version 8.15.11.8688 from 2009). There is an install date of 1/29/2012 though I've had the PC since 2009.Jan 2012 was about the time I reloaded a standard WIN7 after getting fed up with ASUS support for their OEM version (long story).I haven't looked at this in a long time, so no idea what happened.I would rather use the NVIDIA chipset, I think it works better than the integrated (that's why I bought it in the first place.)How can I get the NVIDIA chipset back up and running?
I have a Realtek built-in sound card. I've got a GA-990FXA-UD3 GIGABYTE mobo, and that's all I'd think matters.It was working a little while ago (Yesterday) with no problems.When I got home, the little speaker thingy on the bottom right had an error thing next to it.So, I looked in the volume settings to check stuff out, and but when I click "OK," it goes back to the lonely, empty, no speaker'd room.
I am using Sony Vaio VPCEB11FX laptop with windows 7 64 bit OS. now the problem is 5.1 speakers are not working on my laptop. 5.1 surround speakers option does not show in "sound and hardware " in " control panel". so pls tell me how to set up 5.1 speakers on sony vaio VPCEB11FX having windows 7.
For some extraordinary reason The User Accounts Icon has disappeared from my Control Panel of Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit & therefore cannot access User accounts. I found this out when i could not change the user account picture.
I am unable to open "Uninstall a program" through control panel. Every time when I try to open it, I get the following error message"
"Windows cannot find '::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}...:{7B81BE6A-CE2B-4676-A29E-EB907A5126C5}' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again".
However, I can open this in safe mode. Unsure why this is the case. I use Win 7 64bit.
Having a major problem trying to install the latest drivers for my 8800GT, I went to hook my rig up to my 42" LCD TV through the HDMI input (something I did all the time while on XP) after a clean install of Windows 7 X64. I noticed the desktop was to big for the screen so I went to install 191 driver so I could get the control panel to adjust it.
The install starts fine gets to the installing drivers box but then the install just hangs go's blank, comes back hangs then get a notice say something like "the system could not be updated......."
I've tired unistalling the drivers from the device manager and reinsatlling all in safe mode. The same thing happened trying to install the driver again and there was no "Display Adapter " in device manager. I then restarted and the card installed(the driver?) it's self again
My monitor uses the resolution 1024 x 768, but this morning it's on 640 x 480?i try to change the resolution back, but the Resolution option is greyed out?A warning underneath says: If your resolution is below 1024 x 768, some items may not fit on the screen.

nvidia control panel shows 2nd monitor as vga but is dvi and doesnt work it recognizes otherwise as fine in the windows settings and nvidia control panel it got reset ? after I woke it up from sleep how do i force it back?
I need to block/hide/disable in the control panel the option "Change Adapter Settings". I have a DHCP server and I dont want my users configure a network adapter with a fixed ip.
I am looking for registry section or a directive that makes the trick.
When I go to Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsNotification Area Icons dialog then there are a lot of programs which are already uninstalled.
How can I cleanup/delete all these useless entries? How can I delete ONE single entry manually?
Second question: Assume I want to hide icons and notification for mutiple/all entries (here approx 40 items) in ONE STEP.
Third question: How can I save/backup the current notification settings (for later restore) into a file? Are these notifcation settings stored in a certain branch of the Registry (which exactly) ?
The other day my layer's option disappeared from the bottom right of my photoshop and I don't know how to get it back! I can manually edit my layer's by going to file etc., but that just takes too long, how do I get it back? [URL].
I installed Win 7 sometime around Feb, a dual boot with Win XP. But when I upgraded Win XP to Vista, the option for Win 7 disappeared on the boot screen, and the system would boot straight into Vista. So, I used the Startup repair option from the Win 7, and after rebooting it showed the boot screen with W 7, and Vista. But, after I "repaired" it, Win 7 seems to have lost the Win 7 startup screen. It now shows the "Starting Windows" from Windows Vista, then the Win 7 "welcome" screen.
I realize it's not much of a problem, but is there any way I could get the Win 7 startup screen back?
I have a Samsung laptop (Windows 7 x64, Realtek) connected to a TV via HDMI cable (audio over HDMI). Some time back, I had got HDMI Audio option (in Control Panel -> Sound) disabled so that I could use Realtek Digital Output (via headphone jack to Coax on my receiver) and it worked fine. Recently I played with these settings again due to change of receiver. I actually cant recall what started the problem, but Realtek Digital Output has disappeared. I have got 'show disabled/disconnected' option on but that did not help. The analog output (also Realtek) continues to show.I rolled back, uninstalled, re-installed the Realtek HD driver a few times, but nothing has brought the Digital Output option back.
Reinstalled Windows 7 pro 64-bit for my friend's PC but after Windows updates the Search ( search programs and files ) the line under All Programs has disappeared (( this is a screenshot from my computer to explain better what I am talking about

I am trying to set my monitor's screen give accurate renditions of my pictures. I use Quick Gamma to set gamma. When doing this I can use either Nvidia's controls or windows controls (right click desktop>Nvidia Control Panel. When using Nvidia's Control Panel, there are two choices: Use other applications control color settings or Use Nvidia settings. Am I correct in assuming that the former setting is Windows? I always check the button to use Nvidia settings (and then Apply>OK), but when I go back to this screen at a later time, the Other applications control color settings is always selected. I'd like to default to Nvidia.
For some reason I can't view anything that is under the control panel as well as the control panel itself. I can open everything else fine such as pics, music, games, videos. But anything that has to with the control panel I can't see. The task bar says the folder is open but I see nothing.I have tried the following: ran sfc, it says nothing is wrong, tried to create a new user account, but I can't since it falls under the control panel. I tried to create a new user account through the guest account (I was able to make it an administrator) but it says I can't create a new account with special characters such as $=- etc... I didn't use any special characters at all so I don't know why it's saying that. It seems to me that this is a registry problem, and I'm a little uncomfortable with the registry and don't like to mess with it at all. Worse comes to worse I'm going to try to reinstall windows
cant install java. its missing from my control panel and eveytime i try to reinstall, site site gives me the java 160-31 update, when i try to install it, a dialog pops up promting me to search for the 29 update. i guess thats the 1 in missing cause the same thing happens when i try uninstalling 29 & 30 from my programs & features in my control panel. im running windows 7 home premium 64 bit and ie 9. i also use Google chrome.
I run a server from home and im thinking of giving a few of my very good and trusted staff members access to my server machine but would like to disable the control panel first.

Alright, so it started around 5-7 days ago. Photoviewer started giving a message with this line,C:Program FilesWindows Photo ViewerPhotoViewer.dll is not a valid win32 application.Searched on google, first thing it said was to check if there's any viruses. I scanned it with super-antispyware and had one virus. Did the sfc /scannow and it says it couldn't repair some files (CBS logs are over 3mb ). Cleared the virus and after two days, most of the items in control panel doesn't do anything when I try to click on it (i.e Power Options, Backup & Restore, Firewall) or it gives the line,Windows cannot find '::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371,Paint and opening other things through Start Menu gives this fine,C:Windowssystem32ODBC32.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error
I've tried this twice now (on the same machine) and each time Control Panel won't work; it doesn't open. If I change the start menu to show links to Control Panel applets only some of them work; User Accounts, Display, Power Settings, Windows Update and others just do nothing. This means I can't adjust my display properties to get the correct alignment of my dual monitors, among other things, so I've given up on it meantime.
Has anyone else had this problem, or any suggestions on how to overcome it?
When I click on the control panel icon on my desktop nothing happens. When I click on start>control panel I get the same result. I have a power options icon on my desktop and that does not work either. If I right click the power options icon and choose open file location the control panel opens normally. Everything works fine in safe mode though.
i installed windows 7 and managed to get sound working but in windows xp i had this soundmax control panel wizard that let me configure standard sound jacks to 5.1.
i tried going to control panel > sounds > configure speakers but no 5.1 options.
