updated my graphic card but now I cant change brightness.

Ideas?

Should be some buttons on your monitor. Fool around with them in till you get the brightness option.

I cant change brightness from my keyboard nor my PC, and there no brightness button on my monitor.

What brand is the new video card? Nvidia?

 

[FER]

yeah Nvidia

For me, if you right click on your Desktop one option will appear thats called "Nvidia Control Panel" click on that.

And then?

Actually i was looking for a solution that lets me use the brightness adjuster again, I dont want to go to the Nvidia setting each time I want to change it.

Did you try reinstalling your driver?

Also search on google with the keyboard and the card to see if there are any such issues with anyone else

You have a software based brightness adjuster? (Jeeze, why are all buttons software buttons these days?)

If you have a special button on your keyboard that adjusts brightness, then yer down to reinstalling your keyboard drivers, rather than your vid card drivers.

If we're talking a laptop brightness setting, that usually changes the flow of powah to the monitor to conserve batteries. If this be the case, neither graphics nor keyboard drivers are the issue, but you may need to look into the power management software for your laptop, or changing the windows power setting schemes to again allow unlocking the brightness levels while the laptop is plugged in, etc.

Its ok, I just restored my system to right before the update took place.
