Default Gamma too high?

When I use certain hair colors / hair style combinations, they come out WAY too bright or brighter than they should be. I don't know the first thing about graphics cards, but I'm guessing thats it b/c my computer is pretty old (its a desktop btw). Here are a few examples:





Here is what I think is my graphics card, and my computer specs:




I have downloaded latest drivers and have directx 9 installed. And here are my GW settings in case it helps. If anti-alias is on or off it makes no difference for me also. I have direct x 9 installed, but GW only detects active x 8 and I'm guessing its something to do w/ my graphics card again?

Your card won't reconize directx9 because it's too old. Try lowering your shader quality, it should be on low, as your card is older then Jesus..

Haha I knew it was old, but not that old! Thank you for the help, but changing the shader didn't seem to do anything. So as I feared, it was the graphics card that came w/ my old computer so long ago. I guess its time to either buy a new one or just buy a laptop..Thanks again.
