Not completely surprised that you found your solution in the control panel. I also recently had a problem with the recently upgraded software. I didn't have any problem with the drivers, and I also have a 6800GT (but I don't have a widescreen monitor). The problem I had was with the new control panel. I recently installed one of my computers to my home theater system, and couldn't get the card to send a decent signal to the TV. The problem is that the wizard to set up what type of cable you are using skips a step or two. Like the one where you actually change the settings. All I had to do was set the nvidia control panel back to the "classic" view and I could make my changes. The control panel has changed quite a bit recently. Stuff I used to know where to find it in the control panel, now I have to search, and in the case I mentioned, the step I needed wasn't even there. Hopefully they will get the bugs worked out.
