You have just the driver installed. So why not visit nVidia's web site
and download the full software package from them?
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_66.93
It even includes an application profile manager (just as does ATI's
software) so you can specify a different color profile used when a
particular application gets loaded. That way, the change becomes
automatic and you don't have to be putzing around with any controls
(after initially defining the color profile).
Did you not get a manual for your GeForce video card? You could always
download one from their web site
(http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/66.93/66.93_ForceWare_Release_65_Graphics_Display_Property_Users_Guide.pdf);
the links are also on that driver download page.
