Hey all. I just bought this game and when I loaded it up, I noticed that all of the menus were very difficult to read. Since I could not find a similar issue in the FAQ, here is a picture.
If you maximize the picture, I think it says "Adjust the slider until all three lines of text are visible." Well, all I see is a huge black box so that is of no help.
I'm using an ATI Radeon 7500. I have a IBM Thinkpad R40 laptop so therefore everything is pretty generic and difficult to upgrade because it's a laptop.
I tried changing the gamma levels in game and that is the brighest that they get. I tried updating the drivers for my card and that didn't work because I don't think there were any updates (or I just downloaded the wrong thing off of ibm.com).
I am currently playing with some of the global options in the ATI preferences but I don't think that will do much good because HL2 is the only game that gives me this weird problem.
