    I know I've seen it somewhere before I installed it but I cannot find a fix to this.

    Reinstall maybe? I had problems with 260.99's control panel(crashed always while opening) but didnt bother fixing it. Then I installed 266.58 I no longer had any problems(works flawlessly). I think there's always a chance to mess up during the an installation. Just try again I guess.

    That's weird. It worked! I think it has something to do when I plug it in to my external monitor. Ill test it later.

    Just re-intsall the drivers again and it will come back. I have had this happen to me multiple times. No need to remove the old ones during re-install. It keeps all your settings. I have since moved back to the 260 with no problems thus far.

    Restarting brings it back for me.
