Control Panel

Hello.

I have a Nvidia Geforce FX5200 graphics card. Whilst running Windows XP I had a nice control panel which allowed me to make several adjustments. Since installing Windows 7 I now have a control panel with very limited adjustments. Is there any way I can get the original control panel back.

Install the latest nVidia drivers.

Yep, the control panel is included in the Nvidia driver software bundle.

Thanks for the link which I went to and downloaded the latest driver (winvista32) but I still only have limited adjustments e.g. I cannot adjust color

It's more or less your video card.I do think whatever you used in XP should've been able to be used in Win 7 but I don't have the new OS so I can't say. It is an old GPU so that could be a factor. I know when I use the other computer with an older video card than yours, I see less than half of what my rig can do.

perhaps you had some specialized software that came with the card or system.

Try using Nvidia system tools for more options.
