Oooo I will try this next time (though I hope it never happens to me again!)
Thanks for this tip.

While turning off User Account Control may help, it will not completely solve the problem because there are other possible sources of the screen dimming.

I have to admit I don't know what you mean by User Account Control. But it sounds like it could be what happened. I did open limewire when it happened, so I know something triggered the black screen.
I didn't realize this has happened to other people. When I signed back on after restarting, I didn't have the heart to get into another hour+ long back 9.
Thanks for all the replies!
