Maybe try going into your graphics card system (via Control Panel/Adjust Display Properties) and see if you can adjust the brightness and/or Gamma Correction. (I havent had any probs in this area either)T. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Aug-15-01, 01:52 AM (EST) 3. "RE: Dim scenes !" Depending on your video card and setup you probably need to adjust the gamma for the directplay, if it's using that. I had my gamma up for games like quake, which use opengl, and was surprised to have a dark screen when i ran the first game that did not use opengl, but used the native directdraw drivers instead. Also be aware on a clean install, I think you have to set the display driver so it knows to use hardware. Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
