I just got these new drivers...

And I'm absolutely appalled.

What HAVE Nvidia done to a winning formula?

For a start I have to disable the StyleXP theme I use because I can't see
anything in the new drivers - it's all dark. Secondly, I can't find ANY of
the fine tune controls like FSAA or AF etc.

Thirdly it just looks absolutely horrible and utterly dumbed down. The old
drivers were much, much better than these atrocities.

Or am I badly missing something here?

Ah, I see now how to put it back to the old interface. Thank God for that.

Please share. I installed them for about 1/2 hour - hated the new setup
- and went back to the 84s.

IIRC, it's in the View drop down menu 'Classic nVidia control panel' or
whatever it says (near the bottom of the menu).
Then, to change it back to the new panel, it's in the last item on the
pop-out menu.

This royally ****ed me up until I was able to guess where to click to get
something otehr than black on black. An utter disgrace for them to release
this piece of **** software.

They are there. You have to turn it on. Can't remember exactly how just
now but I did manage to get all that.

Pathetic, third rate programming.

Good to see ATi users aren't the only ones suffering with a dumbed-down,
buggy interface. For the next year, expect half the bugs fixed in each
driver release to be meant for the new interface. Choice is good...

Yes your missing something, like a bunch of detailed INFORMATION on all
your hardware...

First, locate the option to set the control panel to Classic style. Then
you can find everything. Second, as with every driver install, you have to
merge Coolbits2 again. Everything IS there in the 91.31 set. And, so far
it all seems to work.
