Sony DSC-P Exposure Problems

When I am in the Manual mode and with the no flash, my Exposure (EV) is stuck on -2.OEV which causes my screen to be black. Even outside during the day, the screen is black and looks like it is really night. I try to lower my shutter speed so I can get OEV, but I have to make it go down to NR2". There is no way to access the Exposure setting from the Manual menu. I can access EV from P, SCN, Movie and have made sure that it is on OEV and it does not help.

I am learning more about the camera so I am trying to venture out of Auto. I think some how I made it stick on -2.OEV. I hope that someone can help me.

Thanks
