After trying the 190.38 drivers on my XP system, I’ve found that AA settings at the application profile level are not being applied in Direct3D titles; they only work at the global level.

Aside from the annoying fact that you have to change AA values globally, it also means games with special AA flags such as Unreal 3 based games may fail to have AA applied in them.

Interestingly enough, OpenGL games seem to be unaffected by this problem.

I’ve seen several forum posts online confirming the issue exists with multiple 19x.xx drivers, and also that it happens on Windows 7 too.

If the issue affects you, I can confirm that downgrading to 186.16 fixes the problem, which is precisely what I’ve done until nVidia can fix this problem.

It also affects 190.15 and 190.56

nVidia is doing behind the scenes stuff with how the profiles work according to Grestorn (the nHancer author) and some of his beta testers. It would be nice if they didn't break stuff while they are working on it though, its happened a couple of times in the past.

Sadly it appears to affect their own control panel too, which is why I reported it. Had it been just an nHancer issue then it wouldn't be nVidia's problem.

I initially missed it because OpenGL games still work through nHancer, and I’m currently replaying Doom 3.

The problem appears to have been fixed (at least for nHancer) with 190.38, there are still issues in drivers like 190.56 that need working on.

Use the latest nHancer beta (the one above is beta1):
