Nvidia is stupid that way. I guess they're so used to making 8800 only drivers they forgot their drivers actually support other cards.

System Specs

Something sure works in mysterious ways.
1) Installed using the .inf from the .24 package. Panel scaling works again like it did with .18 beta, yay. But for some reason I thought it would be best to:
2) Installed with the .42 .inf modified just to support my 7900GTX. Panel scaling doesn't work and the screen blanks out briefly every time I access the controls.
3) Installed using the .inf from the .24 package. Panel scaling not working, and my three toolbars vanishes from the desktop. Tired of installing drivers, I take the pain...
