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!
