    It would help if we knew your graphics card and which drivers you are using.

    Do you use drivers with modded .inf files from laptopvideo2go? Because with those drivers u cant set the brightness.

    Edit: lol that was fast

    And I won! Now back on topic - if you are using nvidia then the modded drivers won't have brightness control. If you get the 267.24 from the official nvidia site, you will.
