    This issue is really bugging me lately, and I've just been living with it since I got my notebook back in May. Was hoping for some help though.

    If some may recall, there was an issue with a "bluish tint" on these notebooks. Sager sent out a message saying the way to fix this was to adjust the blue colour slider in the "colour calibration" screen in windows (I have to slide it to below halfway on the blue scale to get the right colour).

    I do that and the screen looks great, but whenever I load a full-screen application such as a game, it goes right back to the blue tint. When I open the colour calibration the blue slider is back to the default position.

    Anyone have an idea on how to fix this issue? It's not a major problem, just annoying to go to the colour calibration screen each time it happens.

    Also seems to occur sometimes when I plug in an external monitor.

    Defaut (all sliders to the right, but this is way too blue. The bars should all look gray):

    Corrected (notice the blue slider is down past halfway, and now the bars look gray for the most part)

    When I start a full-screen application such as a game, I notice the colour change on my screen (a quick flash before the game loads). Then, when I quit the game and check my calibration, the slider is back to the default position and everything is too blue.

    It seems that for some reason, it is not saving my calibration settings.

    Some extra info:

    I have the stock glossy screen. I have also tried to download the calibration profiles from the SAGER website, but it still reverts back to the default.
