A little gamma raising trick .....
....that I found.
Now, my moniter has really CRAPPY gamma (brightness for non-techies), for a while, and I was getting sick of it. I wasn't annoyed enough, so I didn't get a new moniter though, but put up with it.
The secret :
Get the Max Payne 2 demo on-line, run it and alt-tab out of it. As long as you don't quit out of it, the gamma will be high as hell. Btw, this doesn't affect other games which run while Max Payne 2 is windowed, it only affects Windows Explorer + Internet Explorer. You can get the Max Payne 2 demo from a games site, or here.
DISCLAIMER : I do not take any responsibility if this works or not on your computer. Results may be different from what I experienced.
