I'm not sure. I just set the overlay to what I like (160 brightness, 105
contrast), and it always stays that way, even after a reboot. I have a fresh
install of XP, and the 66.93's are the only driver I've used on this system.
Perhaps you guys have had older drivers and installed over them which may
have caused the problem. I can't say for sure, but just guessing.

The Overlay/VMR settings work fine for me with the 66.93's and a 6600GT
PCI-E.
They stay where they should, even after a reboot.
I'm using XP Sp2 and Asus A8n-SLI if that helps.


How do you make it persist. Mine is restored as soon as I enter the
Nvidia control panel. Not before. Used to work OK with earlier
drivers. Have you testet the games color profiles?

THis couldn't be tied to the type of card anyway?

Just found another bug in 66.93, the brightness for "Overlay/VMR"
(like video playback inside Media Player) is not restored at boot
either (it's not restored until you open the control panel and select
the "Color correction" panel). Just like the games profiles :-(

But: The mail (desktop) color settings ARE restored at boot)
(maybe they didn't check if the other settings worked, or :-)

In the 66.93 drivers you can setup the game profiles to connect with a
predefined color profile (in addition to other image/quality settings)

And this works great - UNTIL you reboot the PC :-/

Next time you boot and launch a game all game settings are applied
(like AA, VSYNC etc) BUT the color profile IS NOT applied :-(

If you then go into the profile setup, select the game profile and
just click "Apply", then restart the game, THEN the color profile is
applied as it should (but next time you reboot it's not applied again)

Further on, if you have several games profiles, you need to click
"Apply" on all of them to make them use the color profile :-)

Can someone at Nvidia check this? The possibility to apply color
profiles is new in 66.93, but it's a great feature, so it's sad that
is doesn't work. Or is there a fix (something I can run at boottime to
"load" all the color profile data without having to do it manually)?

PS! Anyone know how to get this feedback to the right Nvidia persons?
