Hi - Im running an Athlon Xp 1800 with a Radeon 7500 card with 128DDR. I have 320Mb RAM. My problem is this:
I was fiddling with my monitor to see what resolution it could handle. Because i was going for the higher resolutions i had to change the size of my monitor, eg width - height etc. I was doing this and i was interupted/not concentratring and i looked again and my display was very dark! I was using the actual monitor to change the shape etc and must have pressed a button that i shouldn't have. My monitor is now very dark and ll films/games/apps run are dark.The actual monitor controls/gui show that the 'brightnes' & 'contrast' are at 100(highest)

Some monitors have a 'temperature' setting that you can adjust with the onscreen controls. Higher values are typically brighter.
