poopipe Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 my new nvidia drivers came with wanky video overlay settings - could be thatgo to display settings > advanced > geforce whatever> video overlay settings and make sure the values are sensibleeg. Hue = 0%saturation = 100%if you click the adjust colours button on there you'll find brightness and contrast etc and a little graph which should be roughly a straight line. the gamma setting is probably whats wanked - it should be around 1 strictly speaking but that'll be affected by your monitor etc.you can set the settings for video in a window and for fullscreen video so youll need to mess with both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 For starters get the latest nvidia drivers with the new control panel...http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_91.31.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 advise pleaseedit: damm why does it always feel the need to resize everything, just copy it into paint i guess and resize it then lol.the pics are tiny, i cant read the words. getting new drivers might fix it but you'll want to uninstall the current ones first. that graph looks wanked though and the third slider down (under brightness and contrast sliders) is probably in the wrong place - it ought to be in the middle really - at a value of 1.
