John, thank you for your prompt response. I do appreciated it. I checked
off the "Use my settings for this device" as you suggested and added the sRGB
IEC61966-2.1 and set it as the default. This was in place of the Dell
2407WFP-HC which was the only prior listing and had been of course the
default. The change worked immediately. The photos now look great in Window
Photo Gallery.
Will this setting be expected to have any color effect on other
applications/games and if so what should I expect?
Again, thank you for your help.
Regards,
Mark
