OpenGL too dark with Gainward ti4200 128MB

[IAmBear]

I've been searching the net for a fix to this -

I installed the detonator XP drivers 29.42, and the card works at benchmark levels (160fps with quake3), but openGL games (counter-strike) are too dark. The gamma settings seem fixed, and don't respond to changes in the in-game gamma setting or desktop gamma.

Third-party programs that allow gamma adjustments don't work(they're not openGL specific like those with my old voodoo3).

Any ideas would be appreciated!

that happened with my geforce2 mx and an HP Pavillion...it eventually caused the monitor to always be dark, still don't know what the problem was...it did it to my friends comp with the mx and a viewsonic. now that i changed over to my really old Packard Bell(which came with my pentium 100) i haven't had any problems yet, for like 2 months now.

I don't think it's the monitor - It was fine with my voodoo3 that I just replaced. Other games, etc. look just fine.

i know it works fine now...but mine worked for a year without a problem other than opengl games, then it totally demolished my monitor.
