Windows 7 - darker at night?

Guest2 · 1 Feb 2010 at 22:55

My monitor has been working fine then i restarted a couple of minutes ago and its a lot darker, like the backlight hasnt turned on properly. It did this yesterday too later at night

Monitor is a Dell 2209WA. I have never had any problems with it before

restarted and it went away. Think its something to do with when i overclock and it resets to default cpu settings. Though Windows 7 had another gimmicky mode past 11pm that dims the monitor or something.

Next time ill try mustard

Theheyes - Im using a desktop machine but for some reason the option to turn up brightness by using the fn key on my dads NC10 no longer works (though it does through the menu)

It could possibly be the backligh warming up as to why its dark

Bledd - no at all, i'm now getting on fine with Windows 7, installed again yesterday in about 30 minutes, all drivers and everything. Takes a bit of getting used to but it does seem quicker than XP. I'm suprised it also works with my version of winamp from october 1999
