Kodiak420 · 21 May 2011

Good Day to all....

Had a question...
the nvidia control panel when i try to open the desk top part of the control panel it crashs the program... I am try to run my daul screens at two different res. But apparently i need to do it through Nvidia control panel ?????? Is there a fix to stop the desktop portion of the nvidia control panel from crashing it self?????

Thanx in advance ....

Hello Kodiak420!

The Nvidia Control Panel follows with your Graphic Driver. Try reinstalling your Driver by using Nvidia Uninstaller (uninstall from your control panel as we know!)

Warning

Your resolution will change after you restarted your computer, it's all normal because Windows 7 is using the default driver

Tip

If you want to clean leftover files use the popular software, Driver Sweeper

Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling

If you don't want to uninstall your driver, i'm sure there's some members having other suggestions for you!
Hope this helps.

When i updated the latest driver (the 270.61 i think don,t qote) I did a complete uninstall then i ran driver sweeper to make sure of it all being gone. then installed.

SO i'm hopeing that i dont need to do all that again.... but thanx fredegail for the input.....

That is it. I just went to Control Panel> Programs and Features. The only option when you highlight and right click is uninstall- no repair option. Some software will have repair. It seems a rarity anymore.
See pic below.

The same if you go to Device Manager. Rollback or delete. No repair.

I think the dual display needs to be setup in Nvidias control panels.

You should be able to just re-install the drivers, and check "Perform a clean Install"

I would unplug 1 monitor for the time being.
Once you get the driver and control panel working, then reconnect it, and set it up in the control panel.

You can set the resolutions on each monitor from display properties with no need to go anywhere near the nvidia control panel.

Nope, for that you need a 3rd party app like ultramon.
