Since I got my new laptop I have been tweaking it so it is optimum for gaming since I couldn't get a desktop due to mobility issues I currently put up with.
I've done all the basic stuff with regards to processor state and power consumption, but now I've gone into the nVidia control panel to further improve my gaming experience. It used to work just fine, I had everything maxed out to improve gaming performance, until I recently bought Oblivion (not to say that this is the issue, I'm just throwing it out there).
I noticed that HDR and anti-aliasing couldn't be turned on at the same (for whatever reason), so I turned on HDR through the in-game menu, and forced anti-aliasing manually through the nVidia control panel. It all worked out great and I got to playing. However recently the control panel started being a bit of a bastard.
I noticed my games were running slower and when I took a look at the nVidia control panel, everything had reset itself back to the default settings. I put it all back up, hit apply and closed the window, yet they aren't saved and won't save no matter what I do.
In addition, when going to select a game through the control panel, where before it had everything, it now has nothing. I try browsing and adding Oblivion to the list manually, but it simply doesn't appear.
Any idea why my control panel refuses to see any of my games and why it keeps resetting my GPU options?
