Pretty sure no one can help, I've done tons of google searching and I guess it's just a problem with my gfx card and css. My monitor is very dark so I use to use brightness increasing programs like powerstrip to brighten my game. I got a new gfx card and then those programs wouldn't work with css. The programs still work on my desktop, and in the other game I use to play(delta force).
I've tried like 10 other programs to increase my gamma/brightness and they all work except for in css. So...there's the problem but I doubt anyone has any ideas other than trying a new monitor, which is what I'm thinking about doing.
BTW, monitor brightness and in game brightness are both on max.
edit: I got a new monitor now so nvm
