I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with Win Me, 1.8 Gig P4, 256 Mb, and 32 MB NVIDIA GEFORCE 2 MX W/TV OUT (DELL). When I first got this computer about 9 months ago I set the color correction tab to my preferences, gave the settings a name, saved them, and checked the box to automatically use those settings on startup. Until a couple of days ago it did exactly that without fail. Now it boots up, those colors come up for a few seconds, then the default colors come back. I can go reset my preferences, but it is a pain to do that every time. I have the latest drivers from Dell for this device, although not the latest Nvidia drivers. Dell, like other makers, modifies the parts they use, so I am disinclined to use non-Dell drivers until after the warranty period is up. Other than this one problem, the video display is, and has been, trouble free. Where should I look for the solution?
