Boom New Video Card Problem?

I bought the NVIDIA GeFORCE FX-5200 128MB DDR PCI for my computer and now just about all my games are so dark I get sore eye's trying to play them. I had a VODOO 16MB in it before and it worked fine. My computer specs are, 667Mhz Pentium III, 256MB SDRAM, WIN ME. Everything else runs fine and the games play fine it's just like you have the brightness turned way down or something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance!

You're goig to have to fiddle with the monitor settings ( the buttons on the monitor ) till it works acceptably with your new video card.
Just dig out the monitor manual and get to work.

I finally found it. It wasnt where the manual said it was. I think its kinda crappy that I have to have one setting saved for desktop and one for gaming and have to switch between the two. Thanks for all the help everyone.
