Adjusting settings on windows Media Player

[rmt@36]

Hi All

I was wondering if someone knows how to adjusting the picture on WMP 11

All the pictures are dark, and when the movie is dark it is like the picture is completely black.

I have tried adjusting the settings but they automatically go back to the default settings.

All I want to do is lighten the picture so I can see the movies I download.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
