oh and while i'm thinking about it. does any1 know of any good tutorials on 3D games and/or makeing a matrix.

If your game runs in full screen mode you can use set gamma in a loop:

Right well i just tried the code and it don't seem to work.

i think i'm must be doing something wrong but i'm not that sure.

since i'm wating it to fade between screens i supose i must put it after the screens been shown to fade it off, then change it and fade it on by reversing the fade off code.

could be my graphics but i got an FX5600 so i can't se that being the problem

As I stated above, the game must run in Fullscreen mode or to be more precise Fullscreen Exlusive mode. If it's a windowed app "set gamma" won't work.

And I Don't Think It Will Fade If The Screen Is All Black.

In case you use the standard IDE:
Press the button "Settings" in the right panel. Below "Display Settings" click on "Fullscreen Exclusive Mode" (and after that choose a screen resolution / depth).
