I fiddled around with some Samsung software (Natural Color) to adjust my new
non-Samsung monitor. Now, it's WAY too dark and I can't get the software to
re-adjust it back to normal levels.

What's built in to XP to allow me to do some adjusting or pls tell me where
I can find something to re-adjust it.

Thanks much.

Mike

If not using a Samsung monitor, then unload its monitor drivers
and revert to the Windows XP default monitor driver until the file
written explicitly for the monitor is installed. Until this is done,
forget about using software to set the monitor; reset the monitor
for now using the manual controls built into the monitor. BTW,
what make of monitor?

Monitors have controls somewhere on the front panel.. and only you will ever
know why you used a Samsung utility on a non-Samsung product..
