If you’ve got a ton of stuff sitting around on your hard drive, need some room, and don’t know where to start, you are in dire need of Disk Sniffer. No, it doesn’t do drugs for you, rather it shows you (rather intuitively) a visual representation of your drive and what’s nomming your space. Much love, Disk Sniffer, much love.

Use the controls on your monitor, or if you’re on a laptop start up your graphics card control panel, or:
You could try using the built in Windows Calibration, but I’ve noticed it doesn’t always save through. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Calibrate-your-display
