    Sorry for such a noob question but I tried google and search here but I cant find the answer.

    Im duel booting xp and vista since some of the programs I need to run atm dont run well in vista. Im not new to XP but new to laptop and XP so never had to know this. In vista it was easy to set a contrast defualt.

    Is there the same function in XP and if so where or is the only way to change contrast in XP is FN + arrows?

    I'm not sure how this works in a dualboot environment, because I've never had a dualboot laptop before...but I do know that you can set brightness levels in the BIOS as well ;)
