Incorrect Colours
I've been having this problem for as long as I've had my computer... whenever I watch any kind of movie it's very dark and hard to see on my monitor, but perfect on the TV when using TV out. I have a stupid 15" Acer monitor which has trouble with colours, it always makes things darker, so I have my "Color" tab with the gamma one step above, I think I just need a new monitor, because I also get crappy colours... on the TV the grass in Counter-Strike looks a very nice green, on the monitor it's a crappy green. 
The thing I've been noticing though, is that when I am watching a DivX on my monitor it's very dark, then I make it full screen and the colour is perfect! then I wait about 5 seconds and it's dark again, I change from full-screen to windowed and it's great colour again, then 5 seconds later it's dark, then... yeah, well you get the picture.
Now I'm thinking it might be a driver problem and perhaps I'm doing something wrong... I mainly care about DivX, but also other formats like MPEG (which it happens in), if I could fix my CS that would be swoit too, though I think that's impossible without a new monitor.
I'm using the 3.11 Alpha DivX codec (because I've never been able to find/use any other)
I downloaded the GDivX codec, but I'm not sure how to install it.
I'm using WinME with the 6.51 drivers installed (it has always happened no matter the drivers).
I have a G400 MAX.
