      I am running two machines both with F.lux however one can use the full range light where as the other always prompts for a restart and wont let you select the lowest settings. in addition to this I have noticed darkroom mode and some other features are not on the menu. The only difference between the machines is the OS, one running Windows 7 (with all the flux features) and the other running XP (the limited version of flux). Could this be why?

        @robbsnow Let's see, have you unlocked the expanded range on the XP box? It requires a reboot. Anything else you can tell me about the installs / version numbers on both? It should work.

          Hello Lorna,

          Sorry for the delayed reply. Both versions were installed directly from the F.lux website in the last 3 months so should be relativity up to date, the one with the issue would have been installed in the last month. I have tried to expand the range of the XP machine however when rebooting it doesn't seem to change anything and just prompts for another reboot when the program starts.

            Version 3.12 is what they are both on.

              Do they both have access to the internet?

                      @robbsnow Either way, you may like to try the beta that's available on the f.lux website, it's got even more features--but maybe you'd like to start with this if you're new.

                      Open the registry using the run tool and type "regedit"

                      Then do a search for "flux" or "herf" Look for an entry for "gamma" or expanded gamma.

                      Then also do a search for, well I forget the registry entry for expanded gamma. Do you have administrator privileges on the account your using f.lux, maybe it's preventing the registry update and not throwing an error.

                        @robbsnow Ahh there it is -- so if you drag the At night: slider all the way to the left on your XP box, do you get a popup asking you to expand the color range?

                          @lorna it prompts for a reboot which i have tried a few times however when the system starts up again no changes have been made.

                            Hmm. Which XP version? Have you tried as admin?
