    For some reason everything has this weird orangish tint to it. I've just installed windows 7 build 1385 x64 and then my nvidia driver. And it's all orange. Like it has this weird tint thing to it. I can't explain it really other than all the colors that have a barely noticable orange are very pronounced now. It's only happening with oranges, reds, and other similar colors.

    Does anyone know what's causing this? btw i'm using the standard nvidia drive from their site.

    Did you make sure that your display plug (DVI/VGA/Display Port) is well connected on the back of the computer and on the back of the monitor. Are you sure the cable is not broken? Check your display settings if there is an option to adjust the red/blue/green channels, maybe it got changed?

    I probably should've said thsi before. It's a laptop so i doubt the connections thing with teh monitor isn't the issue. Currently i have no other OS on here. I've gotten windows 7 rtm and as such i didn't find a reason to dual boot with xp anymore.

    It could be the internal connector of the LCD of your laptop.
    But you better see with the laptop manufacture on how to perform this and see if it will void the warranty, and see what they suggest. OEM keeps track of user problem if it's common they might have the best solution.
