is this a new problem, are you using a new moniter, video card? are you playing in a room with a lot of light?

You could use something like rivatuner, or one of about 100 different tweak programs. You can also use quickgamma, which I threw in the downloads a while back. Not it's original purpose but it should work for ya.

Assuming you're using a crt? If so and it's really dark it may be on it's way out. If lcd, the backlight's probably dieing.

Try checking your video card settings i know mine allows setting the monitor, but they also allow brightness and gamma correction among other things.
