I'm running Win98 with an NVidia TNT2 card, and don't see anything in the 
monitor controls that resembles a "tweak" or gamma adjustment. It has even 
been known to "loose" the monitor driver altogether due to rogue software. 
My Trinatron's accessible controls are "brightness" and "contrast." As I 
said, I may be looking in the wrong places.

Best regards--LRA
