Are your exposures dark regardless of the setting of the exposure compensation setting?
Is it possible that you somehow set it towards the underexpose side of the scale and left it there while you were messing around with it?
Are you taking pictures of unusually light subjects? Keep in mind that the camera's light meter will assume anything you're shooting is 18% gray. This means that if you shoot something that is white, it will be at least 2 stops underexposed, and if you're shooting something extremely dark, it will be two stops overexposed.
Have you checked the troubleshooting section of your manual?
Those are about the only ideas I have. Please let us know what the resolution ends up being, so we have a future reference.
