Copy following text to the new .txt file and save it as NV Classic CP.reg.
Run.
You get the old ForceWare menu, eventhough you have newest drivers :beer:

When you open the nVidia Control Panel, you don't see the Manage 3D Settings option in the LH pane of the Advanced Options menu... w/ the Global and Program Settings tabs?

Which OS are you running, and what drivers do you have installed for your VC? Do you have any tweaking utilities installed like nHancer, RivaTuner, ATITool, CoolBits, etc.?... and if so, are you using any of these utilities to modify the settings of your card?

No, you don't have to do that registry trick.
But IMO, the new UI is crappy, I don't like it.

Use Driver Cleaner Pro in Safe Mode, and clean all options with Nvidia. Be careful not to delete "Nforce" stuff, that's related to your Mobo/Chipset driver (if you got an nForce-based Motherboard, that is). Using that tool in Safe Mode to clean the drivers traces always assured (at least for me) that I wouldn't see any major problems when installing new drivers.

That no longer works with the later 8800 drivers as the old CP has been removed from the drivers completely.

Actually you should let the game control the AA and AF settings but you should still be able see the force settings in the NV CP.
