Screen Unusually Bright?

I don't know how to describe this, really... the graphics are acting up on this laptop I have, just unusually bright - even on the darkest gamma setting, they're kinda... indescribably weird, very light in some way. Is this a known problem, and if so, could someone point me to the solution? No, it's not turning down/up the gamma, I've already tried that... may be a driver problem, but I'm pretty sure that's all up to date.

Thanks in advance,

First, post a log from running CoH Helper as it will give information about your system and the CoH installation and settings.

Second, post a log from running HijackThis. This will show what else is going on on your computer while you are playing CoH.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

This does actually sound familiar. There was a driver problem (on ATI cards?) that caused HUGE contrast so that anything remotely dark was just about black and everything remotely bright was VERY bright. Your drivers are probably up to date, though, so I doubt that's it here.

You say you adjusted your gamma, have you adjusted contrast? Have you changed settings on the drivers or just your monitor itself? I take it this only happens in this game and not on your normal desktop or other full-screen games? Speaking of - do you play in windowed mode or full screen? If full screen, have you tried windowed mode?

P.S. What's with the message icon choice? All the choices are in the same place every time! Where's the fun in that??

Uggh. I feel so stupid... it really was a driver thing. Nevermind. It's fixed.
