I haven't seen this posted as of yet, and have searched many threads.  If there is a simple fix (crosses fingers) I'd greatly appreciate a link or advice.

My issue is pretty simple.  I log in and virtually everything is black.  Almost like the gamma or contrast is set to an extreme.  I can see my avatar, and I can see the moon.  When I jack-in, I can see all the buildings outlines as the green lines of text stream down.  However as soon as I'm completely jacked in, I can only see about 2 or 3 feet in front of me.

Suggestions? Questions?  I'm running Vista Ultimate/Windows XP Pro on a dual boot system and will paste a dxdiag if requested.  I was running MXO on Vista and experienced this same issue, plus all the other issues with shading I've read other people are having. 

Everything seems fine on XP with the exception of not being able to see anything.  Again, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
