Color Managment in Windows 7

[TechN9Ne1730]

My color profile WAS fine, until i deleted my video card drivers(9800GTX+) and my Dell 2208 WFP monitors drivers. Now it messed up. I cant recall how i got the color profile I was using before but I believe Adobe Photoshop Cs4 prompted me to use it. So I removed CS4 and reinstalled it but its not asking me to load a profile like it did last time. The profile had very life like color as compared to the washed out grayish tint to all items now.

Search your PC (C:?) for ICM files.

Sorry i wasnt more clear. I downloaded the driver and ICM profiles from Dell, and installed the DVI profile. However when i switch to this profile, or any profile the colors dont actually change.

An Adobe page that might lead you to what you had.

It didnt crash my firefox but it didnt seem to adjust the colors either.

How current are your "deleted" drivers?

NVIDIA DRIVERS 190.62 WHQL

Dell Drivers:
Drivers and Downloads

Thanks for your continued effort to assist me!

EDIT: Just read the instructions for the dell driver:

1.Double-click the new icon on the desktop labeled 2208WFP Win7 Driver.zip.
2.The Self-Extracting window appears and prompts you to extract or
unzip to C:\DELL\DRIVERS\R222020. Write down this path so the executable (I.e.
Setup.exe) file can be found later.
3.The Self-Extractor window appears.
4.Click OK.
5.After completing the file extraction, if the Self-Extractor
window is still open, close it.
6.Click the Start button and then click Run.
7.Type C:\DELL\DRIVERS\R222020 in the Open textbox and then click OK.
8.Follow the on-screen installation instructions.

I double clicked it this time but it is not a self extracting file, just a regular zip file from what I can see, and my path doesnt mention the one above. My path is C:\dell\drivers\R163990\R163990 but if i put that in the run box it does nothing.
