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.
