underlit video?

[Teclis2323]

My video from cnn.com is coming up super dark in all of my players (WMP, QT, etc.)

Tried some local movies in mpeg format - same thing.

Any ideas on what's going on?

Most video players use overlays to display video by default. Overlays can have different brightness contrast and gamma settings than your desktop depending on what video card your using. Open control panel>display>settings>advanced and try to find controls for video overlay. Your video player may also have settings that prevent the use of overlays and/or brightness/contrast controls.
