Vista - nVidia Control Panel Missing Components

I have a PNY GeForce 6600 video card in an HP a1250n computer. I loaded
Vista RC1 (5600) and the following nVidia software:

Windows Vista x86 RC1
ForceWare Release 95
Version: 96.33
Release Date: September 1, 2006
BETA Driver

When I open the nVidia Control Panel, it seems as if there are components
missing such as display attributes. How do I set the display attributes?

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? I submitted a case to
nVidia but don't really expect to get help from them.

What atirbuttes are you looking for? There are alot of features not
implemented in the nvidia drivers at the moment, I think.
I am experiencing some nasty bugs with the nVidia drivers as well, when i
try to change dualhead configurations between my TV and my two monitors, and
playing fullscreen video then makes the driver crash.. I have informed
nVidia about the problem.

The 96.33 driver is an initial release from NVIDIA for RC1 and we hope
NVIDIA will release another driver before Vista's final launch but that may
not be possible. NVIDIA is already working very hard to try and become the
first videocard manufacturer to release a DX10 hardware compatible
videocard.

There will be more attributes in the final version.

You have to be kidding. I can't even setup my video card to work with my TV
without the control panel working satisfactory.

And what? - nobody was telling us that everything works - that's the reason
why BETAtests are running. If you want to complain then wait for the final
and if there also nothing works come back to nvidia

You can setup the TV in the nVidia control panel:
Nvidia control panel -> screen -> Edit screenconfiguration (freely
translated from the norwegian version
