nvidia-settings

I have two monitors. The master one (17") is 1yo, and the secondary (15") is really old, like 4yo.
This old screen is having problems displaying colors... They are a little bit darker, what is a problem when I'm viewing pics.

I have a GeForce 9800, so I changed some settings inside nvidia-settings, that fit better with this second screen.
But those settings just are applied when I first open nvidia-settings. First time I configured this, it worked. I turned off computer, next day turned it on, and screen is dark again. As soon as I open nvidia-settings again, the screens get lighter again!

How can I make those settings permanent and loaded at startup?

I installed Windows 7 x64, and I installed my Geforce 9400 GT driver, and it didn't recognize the TV. So I removed the driver, and the TV worked. Then I installed again, and it didn't work again. Generic Windows 7 TV-out support isn't so good, so how can I fix it? >>> More
