Windows 7 automatically changing display color

[FliGi7]

Well there doesn't seem to be a display driver, common for a lap top.
As for the driver, use Revo Unistaller and reinstall your driver. The nVIDIA driver clean install isn't clean always, I know I have nVIDIA GFX.

EDIT: Correction here, you should use Driver Sweeper instead. Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper

There is a display driver on that page. It's under "VGA". And it's from November of 2009 as I talked about earlier.

That is correct, the display adapter driver, not a monitor driver, I've confused the two before myself.

I just now saw the previous post to yours where the user was asking about a monitor driver. So, sorry about that as well. I didn't extrapolate what was being talked about at the moment, rather took your statement at face value.

Hi Italia366, the "Gamma Correction" menu you saw may very well be the settings menu of your MONITOR (you may have touched a button of your monitor without knowing it, I sometimes do). If it's the case, you should correct your MONITOR settings, not your display card.

I uploaded a pic of my color management settings and my nvidia settings. i added them as attachments. Also, i still am failing to understand why this orange discoloration isnt on the login screen when i log into windows, and it only appears once i log in after i bring the laptop out of hibernation. makes no dam sense.

anyone? need more info or something? its annoying having to click on display calibration and close it after every time i unhibernate my laptop. its such a weird problem lol. i have display calibration pinned to my taskbar now

Hi, have you tried the graphics driver update?
I have requested more help with this too.

 

[Italia366]

Thanks, and yeah i did update my card:

i did update my graphics card from Nvidia's website, and no luck. still got it.

So it isnt a graphics problem then...? do i need to update a monitor driver? is this something stupid windows is doing?

for some reason i think its something stupid with windows...idk why. i mean there have even been times where this orangeish tint is on a delay, like itll come on after 5 seconds. but most of the time it comes on right after i wake up the laptop. one click on display calibration and POOF it fixes itself. it looks like its like a "hot / cold" color change if u get what im saying.

It is very odd to be sure. I have given you all my ideas, but maybe something will *pop* into my head or someone else will give you a hand.

EDIT: What theme are you using? Try switching to a Basic theme and see if the issue persists, if not go back to your current one.

I know you told me your color setting were the same except for a couple. Your snip didn't have the Advanced tab open though. Have a look to see it is set like mine.

Might be a long shot but check your Start up Items, you may have a odd or 3rd party program starting after log-in conflicting with your Display Properties!

My old laptop had Nivida, Windows, and Gateway display settings.

That's actually a great idea.

Also try ticking the Use Nvidia settings button and see what happens.

Tried the theme, and that one specific option is set like yours. still no luck

Tried using nvidia settings. no luck.

Here are my startup programs. My comp is also set to "normal startup" as well.

Also for some reason if i have the Nvidia control panel up for more than a few seconds i get this. Dont know if it has any significance

Yes, nVIDIA driver are buggy, which one do you have installed?
In startup try the below:

Try Disable All, reboot and give that a try. Re-enable one at a time to see if it returns.
There is a glaring omission in your startups too, no security software.
There are links to 3 below my sig, MalwareBytes|Microsoft Security Essentials|SuperAntiSpyware

That is weird, because i have Norton 360 installed on my computer. But im not sure if it could be a startup program problem because when i restart my computer it doesnt happen. only out of hibernation.

 

[Britton30]

I have Norton Internet Security but use those also because they work and detect differently.
Instead of hibernate, try using only sleep instead to see how that works. Sleep writes your PC state to memory instead of a file on your drive and may perform better. Hibernate can corrupt files too.

Lol anyone else got any ideas? its a weird issue i know lol. Look through this thread so u can see what has worked/what hasnt. I need help with this. its beginning to get really annoying

 

[Britton30]

Did you try the scans from post #34? After another look at your start-ups, you could disable all of them. See what happens, then re-enable one by one till the issues returns. There is no security running in the start up.

Even when all were disabled i still had the problem.
