    Hi everyone,

    I have M17x R3 with 6990m GPU and I'm running Windows 8.1. I'm having this display problem where colors become washed out and white colors become too bright. When I switch graphics to IGPU, the colors return to normal. But when I switch back to AMD card, after a few seconds the color problem happens.

    Here are the software properties for Catalyst Control Center:
    Driver Packaging Version: 14.10-140415a-170730E
    Catalyst Version: 14.4
    Provider: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
    2D Driver Version: 8.01.01.1390
    2D Driver File Path: /REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/Class/{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}/0000
    Direct3D Version: 9.14.10.01029
    OpenGL Version: 6.14.10.12874
    AMD Catalyst Control Center Version: 2014.0415.2225.38428

    Can anyone help me please?
