dark monitor colors
HI, I've got an old ibm aptiva 2140L46, cpu pentium 2 266, os windows
xp pro, with an ibm 2128 mm75 multimedia crt monitor 17" and an ati 3d rage pro agp 2x video card. Here is my problem: the monitor settings are all set to the brightest possible (both brightness and contrast) but the colors are getting darker day by day. Do you have any suggestion to fix this problem? Is it a monitor/video drivers problem or just the old age of my monitor (10 years old)? (btw in the tab driver of my monitor I read: Microsoft, 6/6/2001,5.1.2001.0,Microsoft windows publisher; by clicking on driver details I read: no file driver is needed or was uploaded for the monitor. In the tab driver of my video card I read the same as above but by clicking on driver details I can see 2 file drivers supplied by Ati). Thanks! Augusto Reference words: colore colori color colors colour colours monitor video dark darker scuro scuri brightness luminosità

If you adjusted the monitor to it's brightest and it's still very dark I
would put the blame on the monitor.

Dark monitor is usually the result of a monitor going bad, get a LCD, you can
find them from $100 to $150. Or if you live on a buget you can get crt monitors for free sometimes, but usually if they are free they are also going bad. http://www.craigslist.org " wrote: HI, I've got an old ibm aptiva 2140L46, cpu pentium 2 266, os windows xp pro, with an ibm 2128 mm75 multimedia crt monitor 17" and an ati 3d rage pro agp 2x video card.

Discern if it's the monitor or graphics card that requires
repair/replacement. Try the monitor on a friends PC or try a friends monitor with your PC. wrote in message oups.com...

Wear "Welding goggle" eye protection. It might be too brite.

This little program http://files.filefront.com/932340 will enable you to adjust the brightness even if the monitor setting are at the max. It is only a temporary fix, it may help until you can replace the monitor.
