Does this happen in safe mode?

Have you tried updating your video driver? Go to the manufacturer's web site and look
around.

Did you try adjusting the monitor's brightness and contrast
controls?

In addition to the other suggestions, check the game's start menu folder
for "tools" that can be used to adjust the display properties of the game
only.

Some games don't include these tools so you may not find them. If that
happens, check the tech support pages at the game's website for more info.
