exclamation V-sync problem with omega drivers..

Hey, for some reason with the latest omega nvidia drivers, I can't force d3d vsync anymore in my nvidia control panel. This was a very important feature for me, and now I don't know how to get it back. Does anyone here know how to force direct3d vsync? doing coolbits used to do the trick, but not anymore

Thanks in advance,
Shmenge

guys this is a real bad problem for me, my games have horrible tearing now. For example UT2004, in the UT2004.ini file vsync and triplebuffering are both enabled, yet my fps goes passed 60fps (my monitors refresh rate) to 100+fps. This creates horrible tearing for me, where if I went into the nvidia control panel and forced d3d vsync everything would be fine, but since installing the omega nvidia drivers that option is no longer there

Please help!

EDIT - Fixed! I went into the registry and re-enabled the global driver settings page, and now everything is fine. ^_^
