Windows forgot my monitor settings
Yesterday, I needed to transport my computer, so I unplugged everything and set it up again when I got there. It worked fine there, but when I got back home, and set it up again, I noticed that the colors were really weird. The whole screen seems dimmer, and the reds look like purples and the blues look like greens.
At the same time, I noticed that my customized logon background had reverted to the Windows 7 default. I found that the registry value had changed, so I changed it back again. It works fine now.
I tried to recalibrate the display, but no amount of tweaking would fix it.
I have checked and rechecked my cables (making sure that they are in securely).
The only thing I can think of is my monitor is damaged, but that does not explain why my background changed.
Any theories/solutions?
