Downloading vids/ Windows media player problems!!!
I'm having problems with my video and mpeg players on the PC and wondered if anyone here had any ideas?
Basically anything i watch on any player (Windows media, Realplayer, Apple players etc) looks like the brightness is turned right up making it a real pain to see anything!!!!
Any ideas whats up, my PC screen is fine and changing the brightness on the moniter does nothing to help!!!

Also check to see if your video driver has controls for the "overlay". This is the bit of the screen used by video playback, DVDs, TV tuners tec. This usually has independent brightness, contrast etc. controls than your normal Windows desktop.
