Default Changing resolution gets screen darker

Hello,


It's been a long time I ever asked for technical
help on a forum. I'm a little lost right now
about where to ask, but the problem started
when I realized recently that anything in
Dosbox would be slightly darker in fullscreen
mode, not enough to not be able to play, but
enough for it to be annoying.


I then realized that my computer also gets "darker"
when I change the screen to a lower resolution.
Recently, I had played with my NVDIA settings
to get better brigthness and colors, so maybe
I switched something wrong, but there was never
any difference of brightness before when I switched
resolutions.


In a standard Dosbox config, when I switch
full resolution and windows resolution to my
current computer resolution (1152X864), and
change output from "surface" to "overlay", the
image is perfect. That's nice, but doesn't explain
my problem, and not helpful if I want to run
a Win95 Cd in 640X480 resolution (right now I use
gapa to change the brightness, but I didn't need
this before).


Does this problem ring a bell to anyone?
I could just put all my NDVIA settings to
default, but I want to wait before I do this
to see if there is something else I'm missing.
Thanks!
