What is up with my monitor?

[MrCodeDude]

It probably is just a small problem, but when I browse webpages and look through my files on my computer, the settings are fine. But when I load up WinDVD, PowerDVD, etc. everything is very bright.. Anyone know a quick fix to this?

Its probably your Overlay Gamma settings. For a Nvidia card, goto Display Control Panel -> Settings -> Advanced -> GeForce 2 Ultra (or whatever you have) -> Additional Properties -> Overlay Controls and adjust them. Make sure you're actually using the overlay at the time or the drivers wont let you adjust them.

ATI has their own Overlay setting but I dont know offhand how to adjust it since I have a Nvidia card on this computer.

WinDVD and PowerDVD both have their own gamma settings as well, so check those out too if what I told you didn't work.

I have the same problem, it happened right after i played Half-Life: TFC. I have a voodoo 3 3000 on a 600mhz athlon. Yes, it sucks, but can anyone help me?

it's most likely not your monitor, I agree... but as to why such a setting would get changed I have no idea. What kind of vid card do you have MrCodeDude?

Halflife did a strange thing to my video the last time I played it too. Everything was fine until I tried to play a DVD and it crashed the program and gave me some kind of Direct Draw Overlay error. I couldn't find any way to fix it so I recovered from a ghost image. This was with a Radeon card.
