Problem with color settings

It must be so if an application is doing own gamma control.

It means that the game is blocking standard hotkey mechanisms used by default in RT. Anti hotkey protections of the most of the games can be bypassed by enabling hotkey emulation via low-level keyboard hook (hotkey manager's options are located in the Settings tab).

 

_Which_ games? If it is F.E.A.R. then it is must be so, because it is blocking even low-level keyboard hooking, however you can get it working in case of using alternate hotkey emulation via periodical keyboard scanning.

 

Cough...
Quick search through the rest of your postings here brought me to the same "color correction not working" problem report made by you in ATT forum for X1900XT in the past. Sorry, but I'm starting to think that the problem is in user's misunderstanding rather than in software.
I've spent a few minutes on booting under Vista & verifying color correction under both x86 and x64 Vistas. Everything color correction related is working as it is supposed, check your actions and understanding.

 

There are multiple refresh override modes available. And they are available not just for fun. The same applies to context help for this option.

Probably it is odd for a user who just migrated to NVIDIA from ATI and not knowing that starting from ForceWare family driver-level color correction is always applied at Windows startup, but not for NV veterans.

Ctrl+Shift+ numpad related hotkeys are often reserved and should be used with caution. Especially in case of low-level emulation, where hotkey crosslinking is not checked (that's mentioned in the context help, by the way). I'd strongly recommend to use different hotkeys.

Do you understand how does the refresh override work, don't you? Do you understand there _must_ be physical display mode change during which refresh override is processed? Do you understand that non-standard refresh rates which cannot be set by graphics subsystem also cannot be set during override?

Read above (Ctrl+Shift+ numpad related hotkeys ...)

 

Updated, not outdated ones. WinHelp32 is available as an update for Vista, and both Vista (when you try to use any .hlp file) and RT itself (stated in ReadMe supplied with program) recommend you to install it. Initially excluding it from the distributive was one on the stupidiest steps from MS side.

PowerUser -> Open driver database -> Expand control panel global node -> DisableApplyColorsAtStartup = 1.

You can custimize / expand a list of supported refresh rates manually in the .inf file during driver installation.

 

Try again. I've no ideas what are you doing wrong, probably you're just not used to software after migrating from ATI and doing some simple error. That should work and that is working for millions people, because hetkey based color correction is one of the most frequently used feature and it is avaiaable and has not been changed during at least 5 year.

No

 

Ugh....
First, hotkeys are NOT anyway related to graphics card. And I've just spend a few time verifying hotkeys under 8800GTS based PC with both Vista x86 and x64 on all the games I have installed. Everyting is working as supposed in NFS:MS, Quake3, Prey, Scapland etc. I see zero problems with that.
Once again: you are missing something basic (closing util when running the game, NOT applying hotkey manager settings or something like that. Check your actions step-by-step.

It will not, driver-level color correction is not anyway related to hotkeys.

 

I also repeat that they work for me in both desktop and all the games I've tried under Vista yesterday when hotkey emulation via low-level hook is enabled. The same applies to others using hokeys in RT since the very beginning when they were added to RC10.2 in 2002. If you're thinking that you were the only man who tried to use hotkeys during these 5 years - then you're mistaking.
I don't know where you doing a logical error. For example, do you realize that you've to click the Apply button after ticking "Emulate hotkeys handler via low-level keyboard hook"? Do you understand that the utility must reside in memory to get hotkeys working? I don't know what else basic thing are you missing. We could play "try to guess" a few days more, and I'm afraid that I'm quitting the thread. Already wasted a half of weekends on installing games under Vista / verifying "not working refresh override", then doing the same for "not working color correction". Enough for me, sorry.

 

Stop being nervous?
I've spent whole weekend on testing different stuff under Vista and trying to reproduce your "problem reports". All that ended in seeing that there is just one more user new to RT migrated to NVIDIA from ATI world and refusing to read help and not understanding the settings. Whole day wasted for nothing. Don't you wish to explain my wife why I've wasted this time for your problems instead of going to beach with her?
Probably I should stop it right after seeing the same postings "refresh override not working" and "color correction not working" made by you in ATT forum. My bad.

Hotkeys are working fine. How many times do I have to repeat the same for you? It is not my problem if you cannot bind a sound to a hotkey to ensure that is is working and you don't feel a difference between "hotkeys are not working" and "gamma override is locked in gamma correction capable applicaiton XXX".

Please don't tell me what is available and what is not in my software, ok? It is absolutely not fun, this setting is available in ForceWare databasess for years. It is as "not available", as refresh override and hotkeys are "not working". If you cannot find it in a "tiny program" - I'm sorry, but it is not my problem.

It IS an official update for Vista KB917607 published on 3/7/2007!

And I've already told you that direct link to it is available in the ReadMe supplied with program. And if you were reading it, I won't need to repeat the same things over and over again.
Enough wasting the time, thread is closed and I won't address any of your questions until you'll study to read things carefully. It is up to you to choose the strategy of your actions for future - you may either start reading docs or simply remove the tool if that's too complex for you and if you dislike the idea of reading help.
