Re: Saving color and display settings

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

Usually its by hitting DEL as soon as PC starts booting, but a Dell may have
another key, or you may see info in the post screen
If you havent adjusted bios settings before you really ought to take advice
from some one with specific Dell knowledge - Dell Forums - as I assume you
wont have a motherboard manual, that gives a detailed explanation of Bios
settings.

If you do enter the bios, and think youve made a mistake there is usually an
option to exit without saving

If by power management, you mean the settings under performance and
maintenance and power options under control panel, I set it for never
turn
off monitor, hibernate or standby. That stopped it from reverting when
the
screensaver came on but it still reverts after some undefined period,
or
overnight. Other than that, I am not sure what power management
settings
you
are referring to.

I have a MAG MV940 monitor running on a Dell Pentium 4 4700. I am
using
XP.
My monitor always defaults back to a dimmer setting than I like.
The
graphics
accelerator is an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver and all
drivers
are
up to date. I go to advanced setting and adjust color, contrast,
etc.
and
hit
apply. Then I close that window and hit apply again under the main
window.
I
have hit both replys in various combinations and it still defaults
to
the
dimmer display after a re-boot, hibernation or overnight. If I
leave
the
Intel window opens, it postpones the dimming but it eventually
goes
back.

You might want to look at the Power Management settings
for the display. Whatever's set there may be overriding the
Display>>
Properties settings.
