Is it my video card not having enough brain power or perhaps the video card cannot display widescreen 3000 to 1 contrast ratio? Is it Windows Vista , I have heard many people having problems with Vista. The resolution of the computer matches the resolution of the monitor so I don't know what to do now. I have also checked the drivers.

The video coming out of the card has an infinite contrast ratio. It is LCD panels that are limited in how dark the black is.
I am assuming that you have a LCD monitor.
Make sure your desktop resolution is set to the native resolution of the monitor. Make sure the refresh rate is set to 60 Hz.
Open up Notepad and fill the screen with H characters. Then press the Auto Setup button on the monitor.
The other place to check is the font smoothing. Try turning this off and repeating the auto set up.

it could actually be your gamma is turned up too high. That was a problem with mine right out of the box. Just go to the menu on the monitor and tune it to what you want. If that doesnt work then I would go to the video card settings, make sure you are running at 75mHz refresh rate, and that it is set up for standard wide screen settings.

Could it be that the lightly colored text are menu options that are not currently available.
For example: The Edit menu in a word processor will show the COPY command in light colored text if there is nothing selected on the word processor and PASTE will appear grayed out until something has been copied.
That's my guess!
