My ATI Control Panel had the ability to change custom color profiles on the fly with hot keys. I see that the nVIDIA Control Panel does not have this feature.

Is there any program I can download that will give me this feature with my nVIDIA card?

Hmmm... Perhaps a similar thing would be the Nvidia "NView Desktop Manager"?? It can save and load different profiles, though I honestly don't know how to use it (never bothered to learn). I'm guessing that in addition to desktop doo-dads you could adjust different color setups for the different profiles you create. You'll need to get NView in addition to standard drivers. Not sure if that comes close to what you want/need or not.

Would you have a link for that program? I can't seem to find it.

I think it's part of the driver set (using 169.21 here) ... right-click the tray icon (if you use it) and it's on the top of the selection list.

Grr... can't seem to capture a decent screenshot of the menu. But when you click the "properties" item from the tray icon menu mentioned above, you're presented with the following:

Strange. I have the same drivers but it doesn't look like that. I have 169.21 WHQL.

When I was reading the Control Panel Help topics, they mentioned a Profiles selection in the menu. Well, I don't see anything like that in my Control Panel...but I see you have Profiles in yours.

Also, I don't have a 'Properties' selection when I click on my tray icon, as you mentioned.

Strange.

Doh... Open the system Control Panel, there's a link to the NView Desktop Manager there, right beside the main Nvidia Control Panel item.

Nope...Nothing about a Desktop Manager in my Control Panel.

Hmm.. maybe it's a left-over thing I have from an older Forceware driver set. Did some searching myself, and came up rather empty (except for an old PDF on how to use it, and many discussions of problems it's caused).

Yea, I recently did a reformat so there were no old files on my hard drive. I just replaced my ATI with an nVidia card so these are the first nVidia drivers installed.

I went to the nVidia site but did not see anything about a Desktop Manager.

Sadly, I believe colour profiles do not work on many games, or even media players!

Certainly not on my il2, I have a colour profiled monitor and you can see the colours change as il2 starts.

Well, as I mentioned in my first post, my ATI card had color profiles as a feature. They worked perfectly in IL-2.

I had them assigned to hot-keys and I could change the profiles while I was flying the mission. That was a cool feature.

Unfortunately, I can't find the same feature in my nVidia card software.

Mine is an nVidia 8800 GTS, I'm impressed ATI supported profiles for games, I really thought nobody did because games turned it off for speed.
