If you don't have the latest Detonator drivers from NVidia.com, get
them.  The control panel will allow you to adjust your brightness,
contrast, gamma, hue, etc.  Then you can save different adjustments to
files.  These files can be brought up in the taskbar utility (also
activated in the display settings control panel, somewhere).  My
settings are "General Goodness" (desktop), "Dark Games" (gamma cranked
for older OpenGL games), "High Contrast" (too many games look washed
out without it), and "RtCW" (I really wanted to tweak this game's
awesome look).
