Delete the video8.cfg file in your settings folder. Restart the game. This will create a new video8cfg file with the default settings. Sometimes messing with the Gamma will cause it to go bad.

If any of the advanced graphic options are checked (except for Bump Mapping), in the Options->Graphic Details->Advanced panel, then the above behavior would not surprise me.

The video card in your computer is a pretty low end card.
