    CW26FX - Anyone having trouble getting their video color settings to stick? I have adjusted my screen brightness/color/contrast via the NVidia Control Panel, but I periodically lose my settings. Initially there was a conflict with the VAIO Control Center - display settings there superseded whatever I did in the NVidia Control Panel. I eventually figured out how to get the NVidia Control Panel settings to stick by changing the display settings in the VAIO Control Center first - or at least I thought I did. It would work for a few reboots, but eventually I seemed to lose my settings again. So I uninstalled the VAIO Control Center hoping that would leave my NVidia Control Panel settings alone. But lo & behold I still periodically lose those settings (the NVidia Control Panel radio button "Other applications control color settings" is inexplicably selected.) Any ideas? (And yes, I hit "Apply" before closing out the NVidia Control Panel.)

    1.first reinstall the vaio control centre.
    2.select display in vaio control centre.
    3.select color mode setting and then select "DO NOT APPLY COLOR MODE" and apply.
    4.NOW, go to nvidia control panel and apply your color settings.

    i am sure this will solve your problem :)

    I did your steps 2-3-4 before I uninstalled the VAIO Control Center and it didn't help. I think it has something to do with the Color Management/Profile settings in the Advanced Settings of the "Change the Appearance of Your Display" window in the Win 7 Control Panel.

    It doesn't only affect colour. At least on my Z, other settings are reset too, including the display scaling method. I absolutely hate stretching, and want a correct aspect ratio to be maintained, but after rebooting, it's invariably set back to stretching.

    Followed this on my aunt's laptop. She was complaining how everytime she calibrates her display.. that the settings would disappear after she restarts. After following the instructions, it works fine now =] Thanks!
