Hi John,
Screen reset: I'm not sure what happened there...! My 'tip' was just a shot in the dark. E.g., Command-Backspace to trash a file doesn't work on OS 7.6 or earlier.
If you trashed something else, and hopefully didn't empty the Trash since, you can put it back by opening the Trash folder on the desktop, selecting the file(s) by clicking once, and choose "Put Away" from the File menu.
If you trashed the correct file, it has already been re-created automatically: It's a small file that stores the screen settings when the computer is off. Because it was not there when you restarted, the OS created it anew, filling it with default values, and that is what set the screen brightness to an average level.
For the 7.5.3 update: I'm not sure if the update will work with files on your harddisk. At the very least, you'll have to change the filetype of the installer program to "APPL", which can be done with many file utilities. I'll delve in my archive if you need one.
Good luck,
Ge'
