Hi Colin, I once had the same problem as you are describing. It turned out that under the Display Properties; Settings;Advanced; Color Management...my default was set to the original setting of my PF-790. I was able to change the default to my Spyder Profile and all was well. Thereafter, it happened again. I found that under System Properties; Device Manager; Monitors...my PF-790 showed up twice. I removed one of these and all went well thereafter.Somehow, I'd loaded the monitor software twice? I recently upgraded to XP and needed the new Matrox G450 drivers. The software was several generations ahead of when I bought the card a year and a half ago. I have no problems at all now. Maybe a download of current software will work ?

My computer is set up to run Adobe Gamma on boot up, which it does, as I can see it "kick in" toward the end of the boot process, when the desktop is displayed. However, later, maybe a couple of hours later, I notice that the screen is definitely not the shade of grey that it should be, and Adobe Gamma has to be run again to restore it to the corrected state. There is a shortcut to Adobe Gamma on the desktop to let me run it easily. In other words the computer has reverted to the uncorrected gamma by itself. This odd behaviour doesn't seem to be associated with running any particular program that I know of, and certainly not with running Photoshop. The only programs that might have been run would be IE5, Outlook Express, VueScan, or ACDSee, but I can't find a tie up. Has anyone ever noticed anything like this behaviour? I feel it is associated somehow with the graphics card, as accessing Desktop Properties - Settings - Advanced - Color tab will certainly override Adobe Gamma, but I am not in the habit of doing this. Using W98SE, Matrox G450 graphics card.
