There have been a few more posts about this problem and I believe it was indeed caused by a weird directx thing. If I remember correctly, when in windows, the luminance of your screen is a little lower, then when in a pure directx environment, say, a game.

If I remember correctly, when in windows, the luminance of your screen is a little lower, then when in a pure directx environment, say, a game. I assume this is because A6 changes your gamma when in fullscreen mode. This doesn't get saved when taking a screenshot. It happens in other games too, like Quake/Unreal.
