I installed XP through Boot Camp and the default color profile used just looks like crap. It's really washed out with dull colors and nothing like it is with Leopard loaded. What's the best way to fix that outside of using a monitor calibrator? I tried grabbing some pre-made color profiles off here to use since some of them had a Windows version with the Mac but I went into the color profiles tab in Windows to try and install the profile and when I selected to use it it didn't seem to change anything. I've never changed the LCD color profile in Windows before. Can anyone tell me how you did it?

Ok, this is way late but I kind of forgot about this for a while but I did discover an alternative. And you prolly hve too seeing that this post is about 8 months old already.

If you have a nvidia graphic card, you could go to the control panel/options and turn up the digital vibrancy (saturation especially). This will give everything on Windows a bit more pop. Hope this helps.
