As to the dark videos right click on the desktop and select display settings. I'm not sure that Windows 7 even had this feature but, if night light is there and enabled disable. Also from the same Dell page as the chipset drivers make sure to get and install the video drivers. Are you still using Chrome? If so try installing Firefox but try Windows Updates again first.
Hi again....hitting the left mouse button brings it out of sleep mode and only takes a few seconds for everything to come back on so I can live with that. As for windows updates, I have tried to do that about 5 times but no luck, keep getting that 80072EFE error. I'm ok with that though because almost everything is working now. I was even able to download Mozilla and I made that my default browser. As for the dark videos, I am using a large TV screen as a monitor and I found out that it has settings to lighten or darken the screen....it's very complicated but I think in a month or so, I will have that problem solved.
So Thanks very much for all of your help in getting me from an 8-7 dual boot computer to a straight Windows 7 Pro computer with almost a terabyte of space.......lots of room for my videos. Need to get busy now and Install my Power Director 15. The box says it will work on everything from Windows 7 to Windows 11 64bit. Again, Thanks for all of your input.

1. When looking at videos such as those on youtube, they are very dark so I was wondering if there is a brightness setting. 2. How do I take the computer out of sleep mode? I like to leave it on all the time.
