Making Color Profiles Stick

Reecek · Feb 24, 2009, 01:15 PM

Hi, I have an ATI video card and a SM2433BW LCD monitor, I don't use the CCC just ATT, however this problem is the same in either setup.

I can't get a good gamma setting with the monitors controls they are very limited so I simply use the video cards color/gamma settings, this is great for general apps, but once I load most 3D type games, then exit, the desktop color settings are back to default, not the ones I set that the system boots up on, now if I go back to ATT (or the CCC) I only have to select the color settings tab and the desktop colors change to what they are supposed to be!!

Can anyone offer some suggestions on a fix please?

Ah found a solution right here on this forum, a search here yielded nothing at the time but a Google search found it:
