Problem with brightness

Post by Annorax »

Hello I am having a problem with Exult being too bright. I am using Windows 2000 and in my desktop the brightness is fine, maybe even a little dark. But when I run Exult, the startup screen and the game are very bright and when I switch my desktop, it is also very bright. I go into Control Panel to check my Gamma correction, and when I go into that tab, the screen instantly returns to normal, but when I switch back to Exult, it gets bright again. Even when completely exiting Exult the desktop remains very bright. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Do other SDL applications have the same problem?

I'm not sure exactly which of my applications are SDL, but I do know that something similiar happens when using the Doomsday Engine at http://www.doomsdayhq.com/.
