click ok, it should still work, you'll get that error with drivers that riva tuner hasn't completely approved but seeing as they are base 169 it should still overclock fine and allow u to set your fan to 100%.

I don't understand what you are circling?

Click the icon next to "Customize..." and then click the one on the left (low-level system settings)

Tried the above arrow? On some driver releases, the above one will lead to the overclocking.f

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Click the Power user tab and make sure the right registry entries are set to allow you to overclock.

Use nTune. It's way better than RivaTuner.

PowerUser

Sometimes in order for Overclocking or Fan Control to work you need to force driver versions. To do this go to the “Power User” tab in RivaTuner.
Expand the “RivaTuner \ System” option.

After you have expanded the option, scroll down until you find “ForceDriverVersion”. Double click on the collumn next to it and type in the driver version. Example: nvidia driver 158.19 would be 15819

Then click the check icon, click Ok or Apply and restart RivaTuner.

Overdose, Go to the Rivatuner.cfg file and make sure that the "G92" line matches the one in this pic(G92 = 610h-61Fh,600h).

Start up rivatuner, and the button should now appear.

Now don't kill yur card.

ok, i did that a few hours ago and guess what... i fucked up my card. when i finally got to click the customize button near the forceware, but i still couldn't overclock. so i clicked find standard core clock and reboot, or something like that. After i rebooted i lost all my clocks. The good thing is my computer still works and i can still play bf2 (but it looks like AA is gone :S). So far i removed Riva Tuner, reinstalled forceware drivers and installed nTune (sry Freezer), and still i still didn't get my Standard clocks back. Heres what GPU-Z says:
