I think he meant info about which monitor you use

windows media player 11 (9 and 10 may have it as well) has the brightness and contrast adjustment as well.

View>Enhancements>Video Setings

Well, I was looking for that, as well as video card, and media player used.
Also what kind of files.

I prefer to use a program called Zoom Player

i'm using a old crt monitor. Fresh install of xp so i haven't got the new wpm. I'm using a ge4 mx something or other. But this divx player is working nice 4 me.

You need to change the video settings in the nVidia control panel.

For some reason, they either are wrongly set, or sometimes just resetting them fixes the issue.

It's usually under video settings or something like that.
