Half Life

This is a discussion about Half Life in the Windows Games category; Just upgraded to win 2k and found my 3dfx vid drivers didnt work. Got the correct one from here and installed them. Now when I join a game it is so dark that I can barely see anything even with the gamma turned all of the way up.

Just upgraded to win 2k and found my 3dfx vid drivers didnt work. Got the correct one from here and installed them. Now when I join a game it is so dark that I can barely see anything even with the gamma turned all of the way up. In win98 there was a way to set the color for your monitor and I've used this in the past to correct my problem. Now I can't find were you do this in win2k. Does anyone know how to do this in wi2k?
 
Also, now when I exit a game I get an error msg and the computer completely locks up. Anyone know what could the the cause of this?

Powerstrip allows you to adjust gamma on the fly. My suggestion for a resolution for you.
