So I bought a Gateway E2140 Pentium Dual Core Desktop this past
weekend and before even turning it on I popped in a new PCI-E GeForce
7600 GS graphics card (on board video always disapoints). So I boot up
and hit nVidia's website and download and install the latest Vista 32-
bit Forceware drivers, download all recommended Vista Home Premium
updates through the Microsoft update utility and reboot.
Vista welcome screen comes up, and then I see my desktop appear, then
after a few seconds the screen dims ever slightly. the best way to
describe it is to say it's similar to the effect you get when the
power adapter is pulled from a Notebook PC and the screen dims as it
changes profiles, but as stated this is a desktop PC experiencing the
problem. So I'm mystified over this, I checked the Power Options and
it's set for High Performance, so I believe the problem is the new
Windows Vista Color Management system.
The monitor is a new 22" Westinghouse LCD and it's connected by way of
DVI cable, I had an older Dell with the same video card running on
Windows XP Pro connected to this same monitor and I never experienced
this problem under XP.
So I need to know how to confirm Windows color management is the
problem and find a way to disable it.
