Re: Vista contrast adjustment?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Like Bob Newman, I have been having problems with Windows Vista and contrast.
I have no problem reading text on websites, and fonts in general are no
problem. Photos, however, appear to have a quite different contrast in
comparison to on other computers. I'm editing large volumes of images and
I'd rather not edit the images themselves as they then print out quite
distorted. Ideally, I'd like to adjust the contrast so they appear on screen
as close to how they print as possible.

I am using a Toshiba laptop with Vista business installed. Is there no way
of simply adjusting the contrast, the way you can brightness? I update my
computer regularly but I'm unsure if this includes the latest display
drivers. How can I check?

Thanks,
Richard

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Model: F730US (I downloaded updated
drivers, the screen is a little better but still not nearly as good as XP)

Did you ever use the online tuner Carey suggested way back early in this
thread?
