Display too dark on an Acer emachines E725

I just did a wubi install of Ubuntu 11.10 ony my acer emachines E725. After I reboot, the display is too dark that I can only see the white backgrounds and my mouse (when it is in the middle of the screen where the wallpaper is a little brighter).

Before I did a wubi install I also tried live using usb.

Does anyone know how to deal with this. Should I go ahead and do a full install?
