Okay so my brother asked me to bring back FFVII from uni so he could play it over the easter holidays. So I have it installed... it runs perfectly on the computer (windows xp!) and I even got it to work with NoCD's (easy as pie... don't know why some people have problems doing it) the problem is that the computer is quite old and has a naff graphics card. Think it is a Diamond Vipper II. Anyway.. the screen appears really dark and it makes moving around certain places <I.e the sewers in Midgar> quite hard.

I messed around with the Gamma settings in the Graphics Card settings but the game doesnt seem to use these settings at all. So my question is does anyone know of a way to adjust the brightness settings?

Thanks :)

Version = 1.02 + Chocobo Patch
Running in Software Rendering mode
 
Try modifying brightness on monitor  :P
Or try to see if there are specific settings for 3D applications OpenGl or something, they sometimes have separated settings.
 
Yeah monitor settings are on max and there are no specific settings for applications in the properties... looks like it aint gunna happen then huh.. nevermind.
 
Seems that some Adobe programs (i.e., Photoshop) come with a little Gamma app that you can use to adjust brightness (I used it on the laptop I used to use, it worked fine).  It gets installed to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Calibration - there's Adobe Gamma Loader.exe (a shortcut to this is automatically put in the Startup folder) and Adobe Gamma.cpl (a Windows control panel, copy it to your system32 folder on Win2K/XP for it to show up in your control panels if its not already there), and a readme file.  You can use the control panel to make adjustments.  I dunno if its settings will affect FF7, but, worth a try I guess.
 
Aaron's solution of using the Adobe Gamma application has worked... my brother can now actually see the Chocobo tracks next to the farm on the world map!
