@tccin3d: what do you mean by “no longer has color management”? Do you use own defined theme/color changes? I can’t imagine what you exactly mean…

Hi Pk, I don’t want to speak for the OP, but color management most probably means just that.

Type “color management” into you start search.

Thanks for the responses, I have profiled my monitor with eye one match calibration colorimeter. My workflow was open safezone -turn off safe zone. Now I dont have problems but instead of turning off I just switch back from safe zone and than trough avast menu system I click reset safe zone and delete all data. No problem with colors.
color management search is for Windows 7, not for XP. I use eye one match 3 software which comes with hardware.
