Hi,
For some time I've been running Win 7 RC and my GTX280s in SLI.
I've just purchased Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and installed it. Now, only ONE of my GTX280s shows up in Device Manager and there is NO SLI option when I open the Nvidia Control Panel.
I've searched Google and apparently this is a year old problem, but every forum thread I've open just ends with no resolution...
Does anyone know what I can do?
Thanks for your time

Have you installed drivers or are you using default Win7 drivers?

I've installed drivers from the Nvidia site
Win 7, 64 bit, GTX 280
I'm confident that they're the correct drivers :(

Off the top of my head I believe it was like 191.something

If you are unsure GPUz can tell you which drivers you are using. The Nvidia control should as well.

+1 on that . You may also want to try going into device manager , at the top listing (what ever your pc is named) , right click , properties , scan for hardware changes .
