[filmscanners] Adobe Gamma

["Colin Maddock" <cmaddock@clear.net.nz>]

My computer is set up to run Adobe Gamma on boot up, which it does, as I can 
see it "kick in" toward the end of the boot process, when the desktop is 
displayed. However, later, maybe a couple of hours later, I notice that the 
screen is definitely not the shade of grey that it should be, and Adobe Gamma 
has to be run again to restore it to the corrected state. There is a shortcut 
to Adobe Gamma on the desktop to let me run it easily.

In other words the computer has reverted to the uncorrected gamma by itself. 
This odd behaviour doesn't seem to be associated with running any particular 
program that I know of, and certainly not with running Photoshop. The only 
programs that might have been run would be IE5, Outlook Express, VueScan, or 
ACDSee, but I can't find a tie up. Has anyone ever noticed anything like this 
behaviour? 

I feel it is associated somehow with the graphics card, as accessing Desktop 
Properties - Settings - Advanced - Color tab will certainly override Adobe 
Gamma, but I am not in the habit of doing this.  Using W98SE, Matrox G450 
graphics card.
