Need help with nvidia settings button and Windows XP

Larry_OHF · 12-19-2003, 11:27 PM

Do any of you have NVidia's icon in your icon tray that says NVIDIA settings?

If so, then you know about the desktop color controls.

I have adjusted the gamma and brightness of some colors on my desktop to make it appear nicer to view, but whenI log out and go into my wife's login...the changes are not there. In fact,,,she does not have the icon in her tray at the bottom right, where the clock is...

Can anyone tell me how to get that icon in her system tray?

Nevermind...I figured it out. In case you are interested, I'll tell you how I did it. In order to get that desktop tray icon there to work the settings with, I had to download the newest drivers for each user profile that I have. I seleected "Write over" the old and rebuild it with the new...but just because I was in the other user profile when I did it, I gained the tray icon that allows for settings chages.

Note: I could not find this settings changes ability anywhere else on the PC.

If I'm correct, you can find them in by right clicking on your desktop -> Properties -> Settings tab -> Advanced button -> whatever your graphics card is called tab -> Colour Correction in the box out

You were right, the menu was there for me to select the color theme that I had saved for the current color correction I am using, and was available for both user logins...but I am still glad that I have the icon in the desk tray on my wife's side now. It is very helpful for other tasks.

I don't know how I missed your obvious map to the right screen however, so thanks for teaching me!
