Default Dual Monitor Problem

I have two LCD monitors: a 19" Dell and a 17" Sharp.

Machine 1 has a NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT graphic card that controls both
monitors. The Dell is the primary monitor and then extended to the
Sharp.

Machine 2 is connected with Machine 1 with a two-port KVM Switch.

The result is that when on Machine 1 I have dual monitors. When I
switch to Machine 2, the Dell continues to show what was there while
the Sharp switches to the desktop of Machine 2.

This has been working for the last 5-6 months.

The other day, I did something (unintentionally). Now when switched to
machine 1, I have the correct displays on both monitors, except the
Sharp now has a predominately blue cast. I can see blues and yellows
but no apparent reds.

If I switch the primary and secondary monitor, I have the same
conditions.

If I switch to Machine 2, the monitor displays just fine.

So I apparently changed something on Machine 1.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this??

TIA.

Joe

Suggestions:
A) Use a recent Restore point on machine 1, or
B) Uninstall, then reinstall the GeForce drivers for machine 1
