Hello PattyMack.
Can you please try the following?:

"to fix the error search for color management in Microsoft Windows Control Panel, click on Color Management. Click on the Advanced tab in the Color Management window. Make sure all of the dropdowns start with "System default". If they do not, change them so they do. That's it, enjoy DayZ"

Geez
