Once I upgraded to Win XP, I have been having problems with my screen brightness.  I have gone through microsoft tech support to no avail.  When my computer is turned on the screen brightness is so dark I can hardly see the screen.  I can go into the display prorety and brighten it myself but any time I launch a program that controls the brightness itself, it reverts back to the baseline(default) settings for my video card.  How can I change my default brightness and gamma settings for my video card so that this won't keep happening?  I never had this problem till I upgraded to Win XP from Win 98.  I even replaced my video card.  Still same problem.  Microsoft tells me that the Motherboard is incompatible with XP.  That sounds like a cop-out to me since they can't solve the problem.  Any help appriciated on a solution or how to change the default brightness.  System specs:  P3 933, intel board, 256 ram, GEforce 4 440mx video card.
