recently i have been having a problem were the colour and brightness of my screen (only when on a media player... or on the second monitor) is fading or going dark and for the love of me i can not work out why. i have checked all the settings i know off, but it seems to be something i have that is doing it.

Any help?

What type of monitors are they?

CRTs can easily be effected by magnetic fields, such as unshielded speakers.

Probably a feature of your media player or plugin?
Divx player/plug-in has a feature that fades out everything that's not the current movie.

If it's a recent feature as you say then it is the fault of something you have added or changed recently.

yes i did a restore and stopped the one windows update, its returned to normal now.

It was only the media being played in WMP that was dull. and for sum reason the second monitor (TV) i have samsung 223bw and 40" TV

both fine now but second time its happened so rather solve it than just restore computer.
