Games way too dark

Has anyone noticed some games are extremely dark? For example in GTA:SA, CS:Source, X-men legends 2 I can barely see anything except the silhouettes of some models. Also the gamma settings keep resetting whenever I alt tab, start the game or the map loads. I've tried changing the gamma in-game with the hotkeys, and that works to some extent but some games completely lock out the ati hotkey controls (like in X-men legends 2) rendering the game totally unplayable.

I'm running Catalyst 6.2's (recently switched to Omega to see if that would help..it doesn't), but have had this problem with the older Catalyst drivers too.

It's not my monitor either because my Geforce 4 displays everything correctly on the same one. Everything else like video is fine for the ATI card, it's just that most games have this darkness problem.

X800 xt, Winxp sp2, AMD 4000+

Anyone have a fix?

I haven't played those exact games but the Gamma override in the program ATI Tray Tools have been working excellently in others. Worth trying.
