Overclocking in a multi-user environment

    I have beta drivers 91.33 installed, (but have tryed 91.31 drivers).
    I have four users on my computer. ( running windows xp pro sp2 ).
    when I install the Nvtweak for overclocking the overclocking option appears,
    but, I can only select MANUAL overclocking on the FIRST user, I have to select
    factory or automatic on all the other users. Why is that? Does this happen to every
    one else? is this a flaw in the drivers? are all the users acually being overclocked to
    the manual level? whats going on?

    what do you think?

    thanks.

    are all the users admin? if not, it may be that the driver tweaks only work in an admin environment, and not in a regular user environment.

    yes all the users are administrators, I am starting to think that its a bug in the drivers.

    use coolbits to OC...and u have to install the over clock utility on all accounts sence it adds some files to the registry and the registry is different for all users....
