I have a problem playing almost any video on my HTPC. I have an NVidea 6600GT video card. I do use Powerstrip to display 1920x1080p to my Westinghouse 42" LCD monitor (1080p native). Desktop and internet and everything look super.
Here's my problem. When displaying DVD video (through WMP9 or PowerDVD) or any video via WMP9, the gamma is way off, set too dark. I go into Nvidea Control Panel/Video and Television/adjust video color settings, and in there I see Gamma set at -8. I click "Restore Defaults" and the Gamma switches to +9. The colors look great through video once I do this. However, once I close that control panel, and restart any video player, the colors are back to dark, and I need to go readjust the gamma. This is extremely annoying, how come I can't get the gamma to stick? No matter what I do in the Nvidea Control Panel, no matter many times I try to save the settings, it just doesn't stick once I restart a video program!
Could it be Powerstrip? I've fiddled with everything there, but nothing effects video playback.
Can anyone provide any insight or hints on what to look for? Thanks very much.
