You can try manually install the driver by pointing to the folder where you unpack the driver files, instead of running the automatic update from the driver or from device manager

Doesn't necessarily work, the latest drivers tend to leave the Control Panel out with that methode. Get the modfied drivers from here - you need one equipped with a modified inf:

The latest driver supporting 335M on Win7/64bit is:
http://laptopvideo2go.com/nvidia/285series/28527_win7x64.exe
using http://laptopvideo2go.com/infs/285series/28527_win7x64/nvwi.inf in the driver, put into Display.Driver folder replacing the original inf.
