On my previous drivers with the classic control panel, I was able to have 3 powermizer settings, max battery, balanced and max performance. Now with these new drivers i cant find the classic control panel and I'd really like to get these options back. Any way to get these options again?

Unfortunately, because 163.44 wasn't meant to be a Mobile driver, it doesn't have any of that stuff built in (very unfortunately).

156.55, however, IS a genuine Mobile driver, and as such, DOES have the PowerMizer and other such Mobile goodies present (I'm running them right now, so I can verify that).

I couldn't get any Powermizer options to show up. Then I got a blue screen so I went back to another version I was using. I don't need Powermizer that much.

GeForce Tony, am I looking in the wrong place or something? Because the powermizer menu is no different from when I was using the 163.44.
