Vista - Display color issues

**flynnstone** · 01-13-2009

Whenever i open a picture the display around the photo and picture have a noticeable yellow hue. All my drivers are updated, no conflicts. I'm running two displays and occasionally one of my displays is noticeably brighter than the other also...Not sure if its my graphics card acting up, driver issues, or an inherent vista FLAW...

Heres a picture of what im experiencing

can you elaborate which graphics card you have, i had this issue where all whites looked gray, its to do with your colour settings in vista, you can alter them but i need to know which graphics card you have so we can help you.

ok, not too familiar with ccc but i believe you need to go to the display management link, and adjust the desktop colour settings from there.

I find it strange though that the issues im experiencing only take place when i open the picture viewer.... All the other applications operate properly...

I had the same issue but I fixed it by setting the profile of my monitor with the nvida system tools. I had to do this on the XP boot because I couldn't find it on the Vista OS.
