I have a dire problem. I can't find any information on this... Basically, I have too dark videos in windows media player and cinematics in games like WarCraft 3. I have the latest Directx and I have the latest driver for my Geforce 4 ti 4200 128mb. I can fix the dark video in WMP if I go into hardware acceleration and make it so that DirectDraw is turned off. However, I can't do this for ingame like WarCraft 3. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue?

In other words, I believe there's some confliction or problem with DirectDraw and my 3d card.

warcraft is pretty dark by default especially on tft screens ... did u try tha gamma correction slider in the video options

Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'
