Strange GAMMA/BRIGHTNESS problem - HELP!

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!
