Hello,

I have my machine setup for Clone Display. I have my TV for the gaming. I just shut off my LCD monitor when i play in GameEx. The thing is. I've tweaked the color in my nvidia cpanel, so that my all my games, MAME/gens etc etc Don't have all the bleed out. I have this custom setting Saved. The settings work great outside of GameEx. But when I run the games through GameEx, the settings go back to default somehow and the colors bleed out agian. Would anyone know how to fix this, so that GameEx won't revert back to the default colors on my tv?

Hope i provided all the correct info.

THanks.

Well I hate to tell you but its not a function of gameex. All gameex does is run the emulator and pass along the rom to load. There must be something else going on. Can you post your log?
