Question about an old XPS Gen 2 Laptop

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hey everyone!

You folks were unbelievably helpful to me over three years ago when I first purchased my state of the art (lol at least back then) XPS Gen 2 Notebook. Anyway, I had this issue once before, but there is NO WAY I am going to search back over 3 years of threads.

Here is my problem. After 3.5 years it was time to reformat the HD and reinstall the OS. So I backed everything I needed up and did just that last night. Since formatting, however, I noticed that my screen has somewhat washed out looking colors in Windows. After a little while I remembered I had the same problem when I first bought the machine and there were some VERY DETAILED settings information someone gave me when I created a post about is way back in 2005, which made the colors on my screen look gorgeous. So I was hoping someone can help me out here. I tried to find my "post history" to find the thread I created back then, but don't see that option in the forum.

I was wondering if anyone can me with how to change the colors, contrast, hues, etc, as well as specific settings you use? I remember someone had posted the exact settings they used and it worked perfectly for the life of my laptop.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Also, perhaps if there is a way to access my post history, I could find the original thread with the specific details I used last time?

Thanks everyone!

The first thing that comes to mind with colors and the XPS 2 hype is the program powerstrip. Maybe you were using that to get your colors warmer?

EDIT: Wait, nevermind, I didn't read his reply. Sorry to bring this old thing up.
