    How adjust Fujitsu Lifebook A530 display brightness/contrast?

    The display on my Fujitsu Lifebook A530 is so bright it's actually painful to watch. Especially at night. I have tried the F6-F9 keys (marked ▼ ▲ ▼ ▲) that I think are supposed to adjust brightness/contrast but no go. Any ideas as to what to do? Yeah, shades - but that somehow seems so low-tech.

    Windows 7 One complaint about Windows in general.

    Surprisingly not about security. See, after spending time trying to personalize things since I am used to doing so on Linux, I discovered a huge flaw in how Windows does personalization.
