    Whenever I install ATI Catalyst Control Center 7.5 or 7.6 it makes my screen appear dull. I am using DH Mobility Modder to modify ATI's original desktop drivers for mobile GPUs. Right now I am stuck running 7.4! Anyone else run into anything like this?

    Thanks, Josh

    Actually, the exact same thing happened to me, although I'm running a desktop x1800xt with Vista.

    I don't know if the same will work for you, but to solve my problem:
    In CCC, click on "Color" in the side bar, then scroll down on that page to "Black and White Levels". When I first installed it, "PC Standard black and white levels" was checked, and my display looked very dull. I just clicked "Microsoft MCE black and white levels" and it changed back to it's normal, vibrant color scheme.
