761609 2009-04-01 19:23:00 Yesterday I noticed that the "NVIDIA Settings Icon" in the taskbar by clock was not there anymore.
Checking further afield, I can't find mention of NVIDIA anywhere except in device manager which says my display adapter is working properly.
The card I have installed is a NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS and it's been in my PC over 12 months with no issues.

PC details......

Intel P4
Gigabyte GA-8S661FXMP-RZ
SiS 661FX
Ram.. (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)
Video Adapter NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS (256 MB)
Monitor LG W2252 (Analog) [22" LCD]

XP Pro SP3

Computer still appears to be working normally but I am concerned as to why the nvidia card should not be showing up in Programs, Taskbar, Add/Remove, Start Menu?
Until I noticed yesterday, it was definately in all these places as I use it often to change Screen Resolution from native 1689x1050 to 1024x768 for the 4.3 option that my LG monitor has.
Display properties is still available through R/Click desktop.
Any ideas on where my card setting dialogue has hidden it'self?

761614 2009-04-01 20:21:00 I just tried reinstalling the latest NVIDIA driver and it's all come right.
Still have no idea why it should have stopped working but at least it's not broken now:)
Thank you Guys:)
