Colors/Screen Brighter when EQ is launched

[Matthalas Winterheart]

So, I will start this off by saying that I don't have a high end computer that I play on. The problem that I am having is that once I leave the desktop and start up everquest. My laptop monitor goes brighter, and I don't get the same color saturation as I would without Everquest running. Hard to explain it exactly, but the screen is brighter and just doesn't look right. Does anyone have any idea what would cause this?

If I close out of EQ and restart computer then the colors on the display revert back to a much better appearance, thoughts?

Alt + O .. go to the display tab and try turning down the "gamma" ?

The old EQ client overwrites the gamma setting of your video card - you can either lower it in game to match your desktop, or just deal with it.

If you camp/exit out normally, the desktop setting will come back.

Fool with the Gamma settings until it seems right.

How would I find out what the gamma setting on my video card is? It's an integrated video card...if that helps.

Gamma settings it is, at least well enough so that It doesn't look like crap. Thanks All!
