226bw gamma/brightness resetting

[bipolar]

Anyone experienced this? Everytime I restart my computer, my gamma/contrast/brightness settings are all shot. I'm using Samsung's MagicTune utility to tune it, and it has a setting to load in the taskbar which should make it load up each time Windows starts ... but each time I restart, my settings are messed up. And it's not like they go to the default settings, they almost get randomized ... usually it changes to be too bright, but other times it switches to being too dark. It is a C panel, if that matters ... looks nice once calibrated, and I'm not crushed that it's not an S panel, but this is just getting plain annoying.

System specs:

e4300 @ 3.1 ghz
X1800XT
2 gb ram
Samsung 226bw 'C'
Optiquest Q170b as secondary monitor
Monitor apps running at startup: Ultramon and LCD Gamma, which I believe is the startup component of MagicTune.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
