My graphics settings are frozen at high gamma...

This isn't a new issue I've had with Windows, and not a new number with this computer either... or even that game. This time, however, things are much more serious.

This all started when I've played natural selection and chose to break out using the console command in the game. The game crashed, which froze my computer. My first reaction was to Ctrl + Alt + Del and close hl.exe with the Task Manager, and who stopped the crash fine. The problem, I suffered was simple, and something I've seen before on other computers, other operating systems and with other games...
.. .the brightness and gamma of the display is stuck at the game level, which is much too high to be effective or healthy. If I load the game again, the settings in the game pile up on the current level, making it unplayable.

Previously, the best way I have found to solve the problem was simply to restart my machine. Windows XP would mysteriously graphics was set to the weird mode, fusion brain and solve the problem itself. Now, however, Windows Vista does not work.

I tried:
-Updated my drivers
-Removing my drivers and resettlement
-Removing my drivers and their resettlement in Mode safe
-2 same steps as above, with the monitor drivers
-Deliberately crashing the game at very low brightness/gamma (to try to reverse the trend)

Fitness, this is not an option. I live in Australia and are not a lot of money, I have to volunteer. This makes buying a hard drive backup-hard. With several of my onling games bought and downloaded, as well as the system of internet cap preventing too download in a remarkable period, it would take about 8 months and more to reinstall my games.

My graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT. The Nvidia Control Panel PEUT compensate, but he can't do it once, do not do it well, and do not carry the settings in the games.

I really need a hand on this one.

Ok.  I'm not your graphics card name at first.  Try this out.  I have a friend how had to use the old 182.08 drivers for nvidia 9800 card.  After some research, he discovered that most recent drivers were more optimized for nvidia 200 series cards and had problems with the 9800 and below series cards.  This could be a possible problem that you are experiencing with the latest drivers.  If you can do as he did and use the drivers from nvidia 182.08 and see if it will fix the problem.  Try this and let me know if it helps.

I have a simple philosophy: just assume everyone is a piece of _ and then be pleasantly surprised if you find someone who is not.

    Hello

    One thing that may help is the following: If this option is available depends on the IDT pilot.

    Do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "playback devices".  Left click the device once to highlight default (it is usually 'speakers & headphones') and then click the properties button.  Click the enhancements tab and put a check mark in the box "Loudness equalization.  Click on apply to save the changes and then click OK in all other windows and see if allowed at all.

  • The message send failed - Please verify your account settings are correct.

    I got Thunderbird established and working for years with multiple accounts. All of a sudden today, I can't send all messages in ANY of my accounts with several Web hosts. The message I get from all of them is:

    The message send failed.
    Check that your Mail & Newsgroups account settings are correct and try again.

    I checked my settings. The look that is configured in the same way they always do. I can send email with these parameters from my phone (K9 Mail on Android program.)

    All my accounts that can receive messages in Thunderbird. I get new messages and I can read them.

    If I try to save a message as a project over IMAP, I get the error:

    Unable to save your message as a draft.
    Check that your Mail & Newsgroups account settings are correct and try again.

    What could possibly change to make Thunderbird exhibit this behavior? I tried without thunderbird downgrade to the previous version and it still had the same behavior. I tried to start in safe mode without the extensions, and he had always the same behavior. Here are my troubleshooting information:

    The problem was that my directory/tmp was not mounted. I don't know why it has not been mounted, but restarting the Assembly fixed.

    Thunderbird was IO error trying to create temporary files. The error messages were misleading, making me think it had to do with e-mail accounts.

  • NB100 help please with fan and graphics settings

    Hi, I just bought the NB100 and have a few questions, I hope someone can help me with.
    The fan icon goes grey or white according to the parameters by using FN and F6, but I can't feel any difference in the air around the grid on the right. It is on when the icon shows white or gray? Does really?
    My second question is about the graphics settings. The intel power option that appears when the icon in the taskbar graphivs is double clicked seems to be disabled. There are automatic brightness sliders and energy saving, but none can be selected, how is it permits?
    My last question is about the games. I tried a few alumni who were not graphic intensive, Deus Ex and the sins of a solar empire, but I had problems in the text boxes that require a response, and in the case of Deus Ex, they say that the graphics drivers are not compatible. Has anyone got Ant with games? I travel a lot and thinking, I want to have one or two other than playing cards installed etc.

    Thanks and regards, Brian

    On my machine that F6 is to mute sound, F8 is for the cooling fan. Based on this fact the fan speed change.
    I can't help with the power settings, like mine all seem to work OK and I can make changes.
    Have you tried changing the settings through preferences/system/Power Management?

  • Windows display settings are not optimized

    I tried to fix it and he said that the display settings are not optimized that means

    Hello

    This fixit?

    Have you tried to make the resolution equal to the native resolution of your screen?

    Right-click on an empty part of your desktop, and then click Properties. Click on the settings tab, drag the slider to the right. This should give the native resolution of your monitor. If not you may need to get the latest drivers for the graphics card.

    If that makes things too small, you can try to slide to the left to get a lower resolution but I suggest using only a resolution that maintains the same ratio as the native resolution of your screen.

  • Connection settings are greyed out - cannot set the proxy.

    In my role, I'm running Win 7 images from an outside source, change them to our org and create new images to our specifications. Recently, I received a new image of the provider. They forced THE 10 on the image, so the tool IEM that I previously used to define proxies no longer exists. My client needs Firefox as default browser. When I try to configure the proxy settings in the connection settings page, all items are grayed out. Topic: config watch network.proxy.type is (0) and locks. I modified prefs.js a different value, but it never works. I think there was a registry or group policy that prevents this from working. Any ideas? Thank you, in advance.

    Hello, you might try to check if the settings are locked as described in this article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences

  • Sites Web regularly not approved since refreshing Firefox. I deleted cert8.db; time settings are fine, but still does not work. What should do?

    First had error message saying that something prevents update with the Firefox Firefox refresh query. So I did. Result is common Web sites such as google and own sites of mozilla not opening not because "Untrusted connection" - (error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer).
    I am working on Mac OS X 10.10.2
    Has deleted the cert8.db in folder profile a couple of times, but does not work.
    Time settings are fine.
    Removed the whole browser app and reinstalled again; same problem occurring. What is going on? And above all, how can it be fixed?

    Ah, you see AVAST there under the issuer of certificate?

    Your Avast security software is intercepting your navigation to filter threats. In order to filter connections secure, Avast creates these false certificates and presents them to your browser. Since Firefox uses a certificate from Safari, Firefox should be set up to trust in Avast to generate these certificates.

    Now... in theory, Avast is supposed to update Firefox automatically when you go outside and start it again. I guess you left Firefox since this problem started, but, if not, that give a try.

    If this does not work, you or a volunteer will have to search the steps to get the Avast signing certificate in Firefox.

    Plan C would be to get the old file cert8.db file old data of Firefox on your desktop and it transplanted into your current Firefox profile. You must already have been put in place to work with Avast.

  • Whenever Firefox is closed and reopend, all settings (home page, security settings) are reset to zero by default.

    I opened the menu, select the option and the change of things like my homepage, I track my preferences and advanced settings. Every time I close Firefox and then reopen it, my settings are returned to the default settings. Maybe I'm missing a box 'Reset all settings on reboot' I accidentally checked, but I do not. Any help will be great.

    I appreciate it.

  • Why can't I receive emails in Thunderbird on my new Macbook Pro, but can send OK? All the account in Mozilla Thunderbird's settings are correct.

    I created an account in Mail, which now works, and Mozilla Thunderbird. The settings are correct, but Tbird doesn't e-mail, even if it sends OK. I run iMac, MacBook and just bought MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.2. All other computers work fine. I want to rule out all other computers and to use my new, but at this rate I can't move as I had hoped. I like Thunderbird and want to continue using it.

    I spent hours with Apple chats a whole bunch of questions and especially to fix them, but this one. I searched online conversations, support Mozilla, but have found no answer. I hope someone can help without using the technical language.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Firefox Sync settings are lost when you restart the Android device, is this normal?

    I use Firefox Beta v14 for Android.

    After a restart of the Android device, synchronization settings are lost, nothing in the settings 'account and synchronization '.

    Sorry to hear that Firefox is losing your sync account. You have installed Firefox for Android onto an SD card? We are tracking the reports like yours to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768102. We believe that Android itself is deleting accounts when the Firefox application is installed on the SD card. Can you check if Firefox is installed on an SD card?
