I have a GeForce 7800 GTX with Win XP sp1. Up to a few days ago I've been using the original driver that came with the card, the 77.77. then I upgraded to 163.71 and I have noticed some problems with my color settings.
In the past there was only nview to make these adjustments, but now there's also nvidia control panel. The problem is that they seem to work independentlyy from one another, therefore the changes made on one are added to how the other one was set.This makes it very hard to change colors.
The biggest problem I have been having is while watching video files, they are too bright, washed out. Changing contrast or saturation only makes the video too dark. In the nvidia control panel video settings, the gamma option is grayed out and cannot be used, why?
It's already several days that I try unsuccessfuly to adjust these colors, or they are too bright, or too dark or good for one application but totally unusable for another. In the past the old settings were fine for just about anything, games, films, desktop etc.. What I don't uderstand is which one should I use to change my color settings, nview or the new nvidia control panel? I have noticed that when I use the control panel with a video playing, the changes applied to the video are clearly visible, but when i turn the panel off the settings go back to how they were before, what's the problem? Can anyone shed some light on this because have no ided and my eye are starting to hurt from all this.
