Basic level help required
Sheryle
Ok, well thanks for the reply
Just as a point of interest, coloring text is against the boards rules here, unless absolutely required. Although not "
offensive" to me, it is difficult to read.
If you had made an Introduction post (as requested, when originally signing on), you probably would have been informed there are some rules here.
As for my help and "
someone, as you" (obviously requiring more basic instruction). Be aware that I am not a mind reader, (nor did your original post ask for basic guidance) and many newcomers (I'd say 99%) do know how to go to Display settings, but if they didn't (i.e. you) then all they'd need to do is reply, "please provide more basic instruction" (Of which, would have come willingly)
Be aware that I help members on all levels, I usually come across friendly, and on most of my posts this is clearly shown. I understand that some in this area (well support) can get a bit offensive at times, but if anything, I am opposite to that.
Re-reading my post, I confirm the first 3 lines have a sarcasm (and light humour) aspect, I should have, in retrospect, just stated not to post in color as that is against the board's ruling. Keeping it
serious, as you say.
Now regarding your personal Display Settings (which may or may not fix your issue)
Open Display Settings by clicking the
Start button
, clicking
Control Panel, clicking
Appearance and Personalization, clicking
Personalization, and then clicking
Display Settings.
In Display Settings, there are a few options that you may see and choose from.
As many users now have seperate, add-on Video Cards, there may be an Advanced area, that you could, ideally, set defaults. There is a little bit of learning about your system for yourself (and Windows generally) in this area.
For my second of three options supplied (i.e. not "
a solution", as in singular)
I have suggested to go to Safe Mode and test to see if the Display is still dim, reason why, is that Safe Mode does not usually carry all User modifications. As this may cause this post to become too long, you can
learn how to go to Safe Mode here:

Regarding my third option,
Drivers. You will need to do the following:
Please put your
System Specs information in your
Profile
Before I can provide further technical help. (Note: This is also stated to members in the
Introduce yourself forum)
I hope my
support, has been helpful for you today
Edit:
I forgot to mention that all support members (including myself) do
not get paid what-so-ever, we are doing this out of the kindness of our hearts, and the enjoyment of others satisfaction in resolving the matter. Imagine that!
