I have Quake 3 and when in windowed, the screen is the proper vibrancy, but when i switch to fullscreen the image gets darker by about half. Interestingly, in windowed mode there was some sort of windows game functionality where you press Win-G and a menu comes up where you can take screenshots and record video and shit like that. I used it to take a screenshot, then went into fullscreen and tried to bring it up again but pressing win-G didn't bring up the menu, but it did cause the screen to pulse into the proper brightness for a moment every time I pressed the key combo. so I don't know what's going on. :/ anyway i couldn't get a screenshot of the fullscreen one. please help

I haven't been able to play this for years because of this problem. Thanks for the fix, FulVal.

Same. I actually set up the brightness in Options menu.
