Am I missing something? nVidia control panel in Vista is incomplete (now with pics)

[kami]

Is the control panel in Vista totally useless or what? I have my basic 3D settings...and then under displays all I can do is change the display configuration...there's no options for adjusting color, resolution, refresh rates, TV output options...nothing. And yes I have it set to advanced view. Am I missing something?

I have a 6600GT with Component HDTV out....

OK....I figured out if I boot up my computer with my projector turned on, it will let me switch my secondary display (component) to 720p. You didn't need to do this with XP. If I don't boot up with the PJ on there is no way to fix it as I have no access to TV output settings of any kind.

Now I really need access to the color/brightness/etc. settings...are these absent from the Vista drivers or not? Maybe I am missing something. I am using the latest ones from nVidia's site.

x64 version does not have a control panel yet, not sure which version you are using.

I am running the 32 bit version. I just can't find any options whatsoever for TV output and also color correction.

Here are some pics...

The main menu: http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/8821/nvidia16tv.jpg (notice the lack of a TV option)

Display menu: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/7035/nvidia28hn.jpg (where is the color correction?)

Vista x86 beta 2 drivers have a working control panel, x64 version do not

Yeah, like I said, I AM running the x86 version which is what's drivin me nuts.

They're beta drivers on a beta OS, what'd you expect? Nvidia will get everything in there in time.

yeah but it's still not a completely functional Control Panel...a lot of the optimiztaions you're trying to access simply are not present in the current 88.61 driver packs

OK, that's what I was looking for....just wanted to make sure I wasn't alone with all the missing settings.. Thankfully my old HDTV settings are saved in the registry and it works fine as long as i boot the computer with the projector on.
