I'm using 3Deep software that came with my MSI Geforce2 Pro... it seems 
to brighten all games I run along with Windows... I've tried fooling 
around with the color correction but it doesn't seem to brighten when I 
run games, only windows...

give a try with 3Deep... not sure where to get it but I'm sure someone 
knows here...
