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.

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.

It should look like this:

I have the same problem and it has been listed elsewhere in
'alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia'. These are Beta drivers and I expect
nVidia will cure this before final release.

This is still beta, not everything will be perfect. What should be most
important is that things are still working as well as can be expected. Hey,
if it works, use it till it doesn't, then worry about the fixes. :-)

The NVIDIA control panel is not finished because the drivers are beta. This
will be solved only in a final version release of the driver for Windows
Vista unless NVIDIA decides to release another beta driver with more
functionality.
