Video shows dark?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

Hi Nickolas,

If you are using WMP 9, you can do the following:
Click "View" -> "Enhancements" -> "Video Settings", it
will open the Video Settings panel where you can change
the sliders for Hue, Saturation, Brightness and Contrast.

Unfortunately you can only change the settings while the
video is playing, otherwise the sliders will stretch back
to their center position! Also, when you restart WMP,
those settings will be reset to their center positions!!

Anyone with better idea? For example to set those setting
as defaults?

Cheers,
Wijono
