You can usually adjust gamma/brightness/contrast from codec/player preferences. Lower the sliders.

if you are using the 77.72 drivers go the the nv control panel.

select color correction and set clolr profile to "advanced mode"

then set apply color changes to "all"

then apply

hello mr beatyouwithshoe,
at least wmp (player) and ffdshow (directshow filter) allow the adjusting of those mentioned.

Of course, if the sliders are at regular level, it might just be something global that's set wrong.
