1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    All videos played with my computer seem to be brightened. Not games, but all my bittorrent tv shows. Ive tried it with countless diffrent files so I know it was not an isolated event.

    I had just updated my nvidia xp drivers before.

    fx 5500 256mb

    thanks

    Okay. here's a lesson in Video.
    Movies and Video Clips are played in whatever lighting they were recorded in.
    Thats why monitors and video player software have a brightness control.

    With some cards, including the GeForce FX you have, you can control the brightness, colours and saturation of the video overlay which is rendered in hardware. Right click on desktop, properties, settings, GeForce FX5500, video overlay settings (or color correction) and change the configuration there to suit your needs.
