Follow the steps below and/or refer to the NVIDIA nView Desktop Manager User’s Guide for

details.

1 Open the nView Desktop Manager Profiles page.

2 To preserve your current settings, you can use either the Save or the New option from

the nView Desktop Manager Profiles page:

• If you want to overwrite the currently loaded profile with your changed settings,

use the Save option. Notice that a warning message indicates that you are about to

overwrite the selected profile.

• If you want to retain the currently loaded profile and want to save your changed

settings to a new file, click the New option. Enter a name and description of the

profile in the New Profile dialog box. For example, you can name this profile My

Settings.

3 If you are an “advanced” user and want to customize certain settings in the saved

profile, click Advanced << to expand the dialog box.

4 To customize the settings, you can select or clear any of the settings check boxes.

5 Click Save to return to the main Profiles page.

If you created a new profile, you will see the name of the newly created profile in the

profiles list.

If you overwrote a current profile, the same profile name is retained in the list.

Note: nView Desktop Manager profile (.tvp) files are saved in the Windows\nView directory.

Depending on the version of the NVIDIA driver previously installed, profiles may also

be saved in the Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\

nView_Profiles directory.

6 Now you can uninstall your current driver for a driver upgrade.

7 After you restart your computer following an NVIDIA new driver install, you can

easily load the saved profile from the Profiles page of nView Desktop Manager.
