Ever since installing 178.24 driver Ive not been able to load the nvidia control panel. It just says this program has stopped working.

Ive tried uninstalling it and installing it again and also trying same with the beta 180 driver.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Hi swarfega,

I use this version of the driver (178.24) and have had no problems with the control panel. Try rolling back the driver until you are back to the one from the initial Vista installation and then see if that makes any difference when you reinstall it.
