I have an xfx 780i mobo and dual 8800gtx's. I am running the latest drivers and dual booting Vista64 Ultimate and xp32 pro.

I see screen shots on the web of what I am guessing is the mother board control panel with all kinds of overclocking settings. I can't seem to find this in Vista. My nVidia control panel just has some settings for my SLI and video cards. Nothing about overclocking the mobo. Where is this software.

In XP i had the same issue until my graphics cards quit responding one day in wow for some reason and now I can't find the nVidia control panel for the SLI. When i launch the nVidia control panel in XP now I get the Mobo overclocking panel that i can't finid in vista. Additionally, I no longer have an nVidia tab in my display properties window. It just vanished.

I tried reloading the divers in xp hoping to regain the ability to turn SLI on and off but got no results. The drivers are listed as being correct in my adapter tab and hardware acceleration works in games but where did my option go?

I can't figure this out. Any help in getting my control panels for my mobo and graphics working right would be greatly appreciated.

On your Vista machine, make sure you accept the license agreement. On the left side where it lists all your options, there is one for the license agreement. None of your options except for the video stuff will be there until you do so.

I don't seem to have anything remotely like a license option. :(

If you just installed the control panel from your video card driver disk, maybe it didn't include system tools? That's my best guess anyway. Browse on over to http://www.nvidia.com and download the system tools software again.
