Computers Colors are wierd

For some reason, my computers colors are very wierd. Its like they are darker than normal.

Many skins that are labeled WOW on a certain forum *cough* appear so dark that I can't read the text. I even set my computers Brightness and Contrast (I think...) to the max, but Its still very dark. I tried it on my other computer, and the WOW skins look fine!

I'm running Windows XP...

Please help....Thanks.

When having problem with windows, the first thing you should try is rebooting it.
(Its even listed as a troubleshooter thing somewhere in winXP :P )

If that didn't work, try eighter one off these:

(re)install the drivers for your videocard.
Mess around with the buttons on your screen. (There is probally a brightness setting somewhere, turn that up a bit.)

I restarted, didn't work. Trying the keyboard buttons thing next, then the drivers.



Keyboard didn't work. Not sure how I uninstalled drivers, but trying that now.


Not sure how to do Drivers after all, I thought I did...[/i]

*Sapp. laughs.Pictures some kid just sitting there staring, and hitting at Q-W-E-R-T-Y-U-I-O-P-[-]-\ rofl! Trying to find the right button on the keyboard.

Anyway, try switching Browsers, are you using Internet Explorer? Because when I used it, the colour scheme was dark like you said, and when I switched to Firefox, it's normal, like my other computer.
