do you have a NVIDIA card? if yes click the mouse right click...

then choose settings...
then choose advanced...
then choose choose the cards option (nview)
then choose overlay options...
then adjust...

WTF?? what brand is your monitor???
If you got an NVIDIA try the Digital Vibrance feature or brightness

REi_FoX · May 25th, 2003

did you follow my instructions above? it should work...

Some monitors are just dark. It might have something to do with age, my friend has a old Compaq monitor that is dark as hell. You just need to adjust in software, like in the game or use rei_fox's suggestion.

or try buying a new one... sometime i want my monitor to explode so that i can finally replace this one... 14 inch shucks!

I have the same prob. My monitor is too dark. (Its too old!) But I use Power Strip to fix this. (The default gamma correction of 1 is soo dark I can't even see the image. Try 2.5 or 3.)

Go to http://www.entechtaiwan.com/ . Its shareware, but its fully functional. (trere's a 5 seconds delay b4 the prog start!)

REi_FoX · May 25th, 2003

theres a way to remove that 5 secinds delay... but cant tell...

powerstrip is a good option too to fix things like that...
