nevermind I figured it out!
After reinstalling windows and 4 hours of other installings and uninstallings and stuff like that I realized that I only had to close 1 program which was supposed to make the performance of my computer higher!
nothing to worry about!
I feel like **** ...or I've been just hit by a trout! :trout:
:hair: :hair: :hair: <--- I'm like this
:elderly: <--- this is red with blue eyes nomore!
It is YELLOW with WHITE eyes! WHOA!:rambo:

You could have gone to Control Pannel | Adobe Gamma. That might have done something. And if you have an nVidia card, go to desktop, right click Properties | Settings | Advanced...

morse - I don't think that would have worked cuz a program caused it!

makaveli - most of the times when something is messed up the solution is right under my nose but I fixing it every possible way but the right way! and then when nothing else is left to try I find the problem! And then I fix it with no more than few minutes!
this time it was 4 seconds or so... :)

I am the same way - I cannot wait for something to get fixed. Either I can do it in like 30 min or I format :) hahahaha

I guess we are just too impatient

but damn - that does suck... re-installing everything is terrible...

Thats why I put everything on the D drive... If I have to bust-o-cap in windows, it doesn't take everything with it. I just hate re-installing the drivers.
