Can anyone help me here?  I've going nuts with this problem and still
haven't figured it out!

>I have a Creative Labs Annihilator 2 (Geforce2) card, which I upgraded
>from a Voodoo3.  I am using the latest Nvidia drivers (5.32) with
>Powerstrip.
>
>Ever since I got this card, when I start a game (mainly Quake3 and
>Diablo II) the gamma changes from bright to dark randomly.  It seems
>like it does it when it's loading maps, etc.
>
>On Diablo II, it will change from bright (good) to dark (bad) after
>about 5 seconds of the title screen being loaded (while just sitting
>there!).  Then when I start a game, while loading, it will switch
>TWICE from dark to bright, then back to dark again.  I can then go to
>the OPTIONS menu and click the gamma setting up and back down a notch
>to make it bright again.
>
>Anyone have ANY idea what is happening and how I can remedy this
>problem?  It's very frustrating.

>Thank you!
