How to turn off hdr/bloom(nasty orange glare and 3D effect in game)

[0hlee]

Having an issue with TF2 and prototype and it will absolutely not let me turn off the bloom effect which is giving my game a strange 3D effect and a nasty orange glare. There is an info box it gives on the bottom right corner saying this for TF2

Half-Life 2

Turn OFF HDR/Bloom
Press CTRL+ALT+Insert - to toggle this info

I've tried going manually to switch up settings, reinstall the games and anything I have. I don't know how exactly to get rid of this and it seems to have a simple fix. Really just need a quick instruction guide for this because it's making my games unmanageable and difficult to play. Sorry for the chatter but I'm dying for help here yeah
EDIT: Happening to my Alan Wake game too WOOHOO
EDITEDIT: ALL MY 3D PLATFORMS HAVE HDR/BLOOM GLARES NOW AND THE 3D EFFECT AGHHHH
Edit3: I have burdened the gaming community with my sullen knowledge for how to turn off the HDR Bloom that has been relentlessly turned off and uninstalled by yours truly. You may also simply press Ctrl+T to turn the bloom off. We are free my friends. Free.

I'm having the same problem here, don't know how to solve it

[dean darkness]

Ok this problem is solved everyone who helped me here let's all have a party.

The problem was the Nvidia update which was adding some sort of 3D display onto your games.
Honestly, just go onto your search menu and type uninstall programs. Click that. Search for Nvidia and ANYTHING that says 3D just delete. Alright guys it's party time and thanks wooh

[dean darkness]

The popup box saying
"Half-Life 2

Is part of the Nvidia 3D Vision system. You will find you either have two copies of the screen, or a red/blue filter on there. In your graphics settings in the Nvidia Control Panel turn off your 3D.

If you have recently upgraded to windows8.1 it seems that this set it to "on" in a lot of cases.
