abcdefg Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi, I have a laptop, with GeForce 8600M GT on Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit I use the latest drivers from nvidia: 163.69 (Got it from this site for laptops) Well, I changed the brightness, contrast etc. settings (desktop color settings) But after each reboot, the settings are not loaded. When going to the nvidia control panel, it does remember the settings, but they are not activated until I select one of the bars. What is wrong? Shouldn't this be fixed in previousely relases? Why doesn't it load my desktop color settings? Any solutions? Is this only a problem on laptops? Anyone got this problem too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 It works for a person I know, having Geforce Go 7600. Why does it not work for me? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalGT Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 i got the exact same problem, with my laptop geforce go 7600..... it's anoying, i'm almost uninstalling these drivers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted September 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 I have to use them, because with earlier drivers, I get the "Driver stopped responding" problem. Well, I made a little program that automaticly open the control panel and load the settings on every boot, but a very bad solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi, Dell replaced my graphic card, and since then, I haven't had any problems yet. Of course there is no guarantee already, but it seems that the problem was there because of defect hardware. I am talking about the "display driver stopped responding" error in the post above. Which means I don't need the modded drivers anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalGT Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 (edited) what a extreme solution.... i think this is not a hardware problem, since other people experiences same problems..... this is for sure a software driver problem i've uninstalled these drivers, but my original drivers doesn't have digital vibrance (color settings) option... nvidia control panel is much more incomplete using original drivers and in this forum seems that no-one is here to help....

abcdefg Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 It is not the settings not saved on reboot that it solved, but the "display driver stopped responding" problem. Yes this is a driver problem in many cases. But explain why the problem is not there after replacing the GFX. I would not think that it solved the problem, but it seems that it does. It could be bad ram sector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
