My Monitor Is Way Oversaturated

After downloading IE7 and installing it, I restarted. My colors were way oversaturated. I calibrated it, but realized that wasn't the issue. I then uninstalled IE, thinking maybe it caused this and restarted. They are still glowing.

Any ideas as to what happened? Maybe my monitor is losing it? It's a 21" trinitron.

Presumably it is something software related as, by implication, your monitor was fine before you installed IE7.

You say calibrating it didn't help, in what way?

Presumably you're using XP, what display profile are you using? I can't see why/how but conceivably that might have changed/

Reset the monitor to factory defaults and recalibrate? How are you calibrating?

What's glowing, exactly? Just the colours in your web browser, or in Photoshop, or the whole damn shebang?

I'm sure other people are thinking this, so I'll come out and say it: What on earth drove you to install IE7? Firefox 3 is out there, and a great program.

Your stored calibration probably got replaced by a different profile...

Is IE7 color managed? That could make a difference, too. Firefox 3 "Enable Color Management" Trick

I calibrated with an eye one display 2. It made the colors neutral as usual, but did nothing to the oversaturation of everything... So, the monitor profile was replaced when I calibrated it.

IE.. I downloaded it to hack my new site for it. FF3 is my primary browser. I am using XP and it was fine before I downloaded that bastard.

I just reset my monitor with the buttons on the front and calibrated and everything is still oversaturated... I always validate it after calibrating. Here's what the last calibration looks like....

OK then mate, seeing as you too think that the monitor profile may have been replaced, have you tried re/setting the profile to what you used before/sRGB/manufactur​er supplied ICC profile?

I mean it was replaced when I calibrated it. If IE somehow replaced it, calibrating it replaced that profile. Since this hasn't fixed the issue, it doesn't look like IE replaced it...

*Very* weird...
Any video card driver that somehow might have started interfering?

Sometime around then I downloaded an updated driver for my nvidia 8500gt. I'll try rolling it back.

That was the problem!!! The new nvidia driver did that...

Thanks a lot!
