Just installed 40.41's with a Gefoce 4 Ti 4400, under Win 2k, when I try to get to the Geforce4 Ti 4400 tab I get an error saying "an error occured while Windows was working with the Control Panel fiel C:\WINNT\System32\desk.cpl" and then the window closes when I click OK. All the other things are fine and I can change resolution, colour depth and refresh rate fine.

I have a different (but possibly related) problem. When I do the same thing, the computer freezes for a minute and then the panel shows up like it should, but I can't select anything. Whenever I move the mouse to this funky new panel thing that they implemented in the Det 40 drivers, the panel closes. It's almost like a practical joke. I move the mouse to the panel, panel disappears.

I went back to the old drivers that I was using before.

I had the same thing happen to me when I didn`t remove the old drivers,you must remove the old drivers first,all I did was go to Control Panel then add/remove program icon and remove the Nvidia software, after this I went to Windows Explorer and deleted the Nvidia folder and its contents,rebooted and reinstalled 40.41 drivers( btw XP did not try to install drivers on reboot) and everything went fine.
