Got a little problem, seems to be something with Windows 7 monitor/color profile/management. If i take a screenshot from a game, and look at it in windows, the screenshot looks much darker, but if i click "Play slide show" so that screenshot go into fullscreen mode, the colors/darkness is back to normal.

Everything else is fine in Windows, it's only screenshots that is not watched in fullscreen, that looks darker than they should be.

Think it's releated to the monitor driver i downloaded from Windows Update, for my BenQ G2400WD, it also came with a Color Profile, so i just switched back to default color profile with Windows 7, which i believe is: sRGB IEC61966-2.1, seems to have fixed the "issue".
