Weird iMac Problem, Any Ideas?

I am at wits end here because of a problem when I run Windows XP on my iMac via bootcamp, so I am hoping some brainy FReeper can help me out.

The problem is that the display dims immediately after I log in, and I can't find the controls to brighten it back up to normal. It's almost as if it is going into some sort of screen-saver mode.

Note that there is absolutely no problem when I launch my spouse's profile or guest. It only happens when I log into my profile. And, it only happens when I am running Windows XP. There is no problem on the Mac OS side.

I am using a Dell keyboard and a Microsoft mouse.

Can someone help me figure this out?

Please???

Jim Rob hates you? Series-ly my puter is having a problem loading. It's timing out with almost every click on FR. Is it my computer or is FR dragging?

It’s a security system that operates in conjunction with email clients so you do not have to attach emails. It’s a pain in the butt and it does not like Macs.
