NR2003 Demo Problems

Anybody having problems with EAX settings?  I've found that after playing
the demo (3D sounds off) and returning to windows, I get an effect active
that isn't shown in my settings and I can't turn it off...

Anyone else seen anything similar?

The N2003 demo that is going around is a leaked media beta demo. There are
known issues, bugs, and missing
features in the media demo. It seems lots of people think it's the release
demo. Just a heads up that it is NOT! The real thing is being worked on as
we speak.
