OK>..that is the problem...thanks.
however, it still defaults back to way to dark if i close it and re-open it.
On top of that, if it is a clip like the one KG posted...

where the window opens on its "own page" so to speak, its still almost all black. In that particular clip all i can really make out is the reporters name and some movement....cant see the water etc.
