I haven't found anything that relates to this so don't know if anyone can explain/help. I'm trying to test an fm with a tight deadline at the moment so would appreciate any ideas anyone might have.
And apologies for longwindedness.
For a long time now I found that if I was in the middle of playing a game and pressed the windows key and went to desktop, when I returned to the game I had to adjust the gamma to return to the light level I was playing at. Not a problem.
A couple of weeks ago that all changed and I found that when I first loaded a game, the gamma was correct; if I escaped to desktop, the gamma remained the same when I went back in game, but if I then had to load a saved game it was very dark and I had to readjust the gamma again.
This evening I find that as well as this, if I look at a readable, when I go back to the game again it's become way too dark. The first couple of times it did this I could readjust. Now I'm finding that I have to try changing it a few times before it gets back to the right level.
I don't know what it is but I wondered whether it was Darkloader as loading a game through Darkloader after it's had the original game installed and then quit, then opened DL and started again, that it loaded with the right gamma level. So I uninstalled and downloaded a fresh copy. But that's made no difference.
And now with the fresh install I find that after looking at a readable then I can't change the gamma level back up and have to quit and then load again.
Most of you techie types (:cheeky: ) know I'm a fairly ignorant pheasant when it comes to this type of thing. So really don't know now where to start looking to try and solve this. It's tearing hair out time.

Anyone else with the problem, thanks to ideas from Saturnine, I've fixed this with ATI Tray Tools.
Well with a few more saves and loads it's not completely fixed but is back to being adjustable again, so vast improvement.
