Screen depiction of camera view is way off

UPDATE (Solution): While playing around, I noticed a little button that I had never noticed before on the "Display Histogram Stretch" window. When I clicked on it, it turned the Display Stretch on and off (it's a little "on/off" icon). Clicking on that solved my problem!
I confess right off to being a newcomer to Sharpcap, as well as being not very skilled with PCs (I’m a Mac user normally). But I’ve got an odd problem with my Sharpcap settings all of a sudden that I cannot figure out.
I have saved a bunch of settings for my ASI174MM to use when shooting the sun. These have worked fine for months and months but all of a sudden they started to appear on screen as being way overblown. If I adjust the exposure so it looks right on screen, then the histogram is way to the left and the exposures are way too dark. I have played with the image control settings and turned them way down but this doesn’t change things. I’m sure I’m doing something stupid but I cannot imagine what. And when I use a different computer those old settings seem to work fine. I realise this sounds very silly but it’s making me crazy.
