Nvidia Color Control Versus Windows Color Control Settings?
Oct 12, 2010
I am trying to set my monitor's screen give accurate renditions of my pictures. I use Quick Gamma to set gamma. When doing this I can use either Nvidia's controls or windows controls (right click desktop>Nvidia Control Panel. When using Nvidia's Control Panel, there are two choices: Use other applications control color settings or Use Nvidia settings. Am I correct in assuming that the former setting is Windows? I always check the button to use Nvidia settings (and then Apply>OK), but when I go back to this screen at a later time, the Other applications control color settings is always selected. I'd like to default to Nvidia.
When I go to Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsNotification Area Icons dialog then there are a lot of programs which are already uninstalled.
How can I cleanup/delete all these useless entries? How can I delete ONE single entry manually?
Second question: Assume I want to hide icons and notification for mutiple/all entries (here approx 40 items) in ONE STEP.
Third question: How can I save/backup the current notification settings (for later restore) into a file? Are these notifcation settings stored in a certain branch of the Registry (which exactly) ?
I want to color calibrate my new Dell XPS 15z laptop, but before I do I'd like to back up the existing color profile in case I prefer it to the calibrated one ...
The only problem is, when I open Color Management, NO default color profile is listed, so I don't know what to go back to. I know there HAS to be a default color profile somewhere ... How do I find it?
when i playing games , suddenly the screen appear random color square and the nvidia it's not responding , i try to play the game again after the nvidia it's recovered from the not responding and the games it's play normal again, the question i want ask, it's that mean my VGA already broken / damaged?
I got a new monitor recently - a Viewsonic VA2333-LED. I found that I didn't like the color settings and was not able to get the right color/gamma/brightness and contrast settings by using the monitor's menu. I have an Nvidia card, so next thing I did was to edit the color settings through the Nvidia control panel to just how I like them, I selected "Use NVIDIA settings", hit apply and saved the new settings. Looked great until I had to reboot my computer or it went into stand by at which point mysteriously the "Use NVIDIA settings" would become unchecked and my color was back to being an overexposed, bright white mess.
Next I tried the WIndows Color calibration. I went through the process saved the new color profile and set it as the default. Then, lo and behold, after my computer went to stand by, the color was right back to being crap. I even went so far as to delete the default profiles completely, leaving only my adjusted profile set as default. But again, when the monitor goes to stand by, the color settings that I created are lost. Here's the strangest part, when I enter the WIndows 7 color management screen, it still shows my profile as selected (even though clearly my settings are not applied). I have to uncheck the "Use my settings on this device" box and then recheck it and voila, my settings are back. And on top of that, my settings are only lost about 50% of the time that my computer goes to stand-by. On reboot, they work properly, but get lost half the time when the computer enters stand-by.
I have a Dell XPS 15 (L502X) laptop withIntel Core i7-2630QM processor6 GB DDR3 RAM15.6" Full HD LED Screen2 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT540M with OptimusMy display was a little 'warm'. I mean that what should appear as white didn't appear white, instead it appeared creamy (i.e. according to RGB scheme, the red content in the display was more than what is required.)To fix this, I did thisRight Click Desktop > Personalize > Display > Calibrate Color and then adjusted the red and green bars to make the color settings proper. Now, the display is as I want it to be.The problem is that when the PC reboots or when an UAC window pops up, the settings are lost and again my display becomes 'warm'/creamy. I've tried going to Control Panel > Color Management and doing what this says:
I bought a new monitor. Setting it up, the NVIDIA option on the control panel has disappeared.Instead, I have the Windows control panel for setting up a monitor, and the nVIDIA device driver for the monitor has disappeared. (There used to be two, the Intel 4 chipset for integrated graphics, and a second one for the nVIDIA device.)The Intel 4 device now lists "NVIDIA" as the manufacturer, NVIDIA is listed as the driver provider (driver version 8.15.11.8688 from 2009). There is an install date of 1/29/2012 though I've had the PC since 2009.Jan 2012 was about the time I reloaded a standard WIN7 after getting fed up with ASUS support for their OEM version (long story).I haven't looked at this in a long time, so no idea what happened.I would rather use the NVIDIA chipset, I think it works better than the integrated (that's why I bought it in the first place.)How can I get the NVIDIA chipset back up and running?
Having a major problem trying to install the latest drivers for my 8800GT, I went to hook my rig up to my 42" LCD TV through the HDMI input (something I did all the time while on XP) after a clean install of Windows 7 X64. I noticed the desktop was to big for the screen so I went to install 191 driver so I could get the control panel to adjust it.
The install starts fine gets to the installing drivers box but then the install just hangs go's blank, comes back hangs then get a notice say something like "the system could not be updated......."
I've tired unistalling the drivers from the device manager and reinsatlling all in safe mode. The same thing happened trying to install the driver again and there was no "Display Adapter " in device manager. I then restarted and the card installed(the driver?) it's self again
im connecting my pc with avi to the tv and my screen positioning is not working with my nvidia control panel.. im hooked up in the nvidia geforce 9800.. checked for tv driver updates and graphics card update all good.
I have two monitors - I use one primarily.My normal setup in Display Settings is "Show Desktop only on 1" - this works fine.If I switch to "Extend These Displays" my desktop moves over to the second monitor and my main monitor shows the desktop background image with no icons.How do I get the opposite to happen? I want my normal desktop to stay on monitor one and just the background to be extended onto monitor two.

I get a red flag from the little ACTION CENTER icon at bottom once a week saying that my anti-virus, firewall, anti spyware is off. But my Norton 360 isn't off, just the ACTION CENTER on the Control Center SECURITY SETTINGS shows OFF.I have to turn my 360 off and on to reset it.Never happened before.
Is it possible in Windows 7 Home 64-bit to increase the native volume available for speakers. In other words elevate the volume over the defaulted maximum that comes with the software? I am having problems with the volume when I am using headsets. With all gages set to maximum volume both in speakers control and the actual headset volume it is still inefficient., as in not high enough. Is there any form to tinker and manually overrule those settings?
Is there a group policy to lock down the brightness settings that are normally configured into the control panel power options? Or alternatly, can I force these back to particular settings by saving and restoring regsitry keys upon user login?
I need to block/hide/disable in the control panel the option "Change Adapter Settings". I have a DHCP server and I dont want my users configure a network adapter with a fixed ip.
I am looking for registry section or a directive that makes the trick.
I am having a problem with the built in Windows 7 color calibration.I follow the wizard for achieving the correct calibration and I am very happy with the final results. However when I restart the computer it looses the calibration settings, so it has to be re-done.
In windows 7 in windows explorer we can search and control our files and folders.When I click on a folder or file I get a nice light blue selection. I am really sick of this color. I do not wish to change the Windows 7 Theme per se , I was just wanting to change the color of selected files and or folders , because the color is too faint.
I am using windows 7 home basic service pack 1.I had changed the color when windows 7 loads to white color that is after i enter the password when windows is booting i had changed the color to white now i want it to be restored to black but i have forgotten how to do it if any one knows how to do it that will be great.
In Windows 7 is this 256-color palette corrpution bug which is caused by EXPLORER.EXE program. In this bug colors are transformed in some strange psychedelia experiment. Does this bug have been reported to Microsoft or not because this is really annoying problem?Somebody have fixed this by killing EXPLORER.EXE with command line utility.Where is RUN button in windows 7 like in Windows XP?
i�ve been using XP & Vista with 1280x1024 resolution & 32-bit color.but when i installed Windows 7 i only got 1280x1024 16-bit,if i go down to 1024x768 i get 32-bit.i�ve tried "List all modes that the monitor can display", but 1280x1024 32-bit is NOT listed.during the weekend i installed Windows Server 2008 (and converted it to a workstation !),and it�s the same problem.a wild guess: XP & Vista were installed when i had a CRT-monitor,but Windows 7 & WS 2008 were installed when using a LCD-monitor.
graphicscard: NVidia Quadro 2 Pro (NV15GL) monitor: Dell 1702FP
how can i get 1280x1024 32-bit ?reinstalling both O/S�s using a CRT ?would it be enugh to just update/reinstall the graphic-drivers using a CRT ?
so i recently had a HDD crash and got a replacement, loaded Windows 7 x64 premium back on it, put all my software on it that i use, and notoice that when i load up itunes 10.5.2 (current version) it changes my theme settings and says "the color scheme has been changed to windows 7 basic" now i've gotten this before running legacy programs, no problem... but itunes is 64 bit, and i use it heavily. and before the reload i never had this issue before.
i'm thinking this could be a driver issue? i did have an issue with all my internal HDDs reading as external ejectable media, but fixed it with sata drivers.... i got the driver for my GPU, but still did nothing to fix this.
am a windows 7 user . i would like to use a basic and high contrast theme . unfortunately , i cant do it . i don't even know my computer is getting a virus or bug , i cant change my window color for high contrast color . i can just put a custom color which i am not interested .
