There's a new sheriff in town, and it's name is ReForce! This is the first utility I've seen since nvRefFix (which died at DET versions higher than 23.11, and has been abandoned by the author) that ACTUALLY WORKS and is damned easy to use! You can get it at http://www.guru3d.com/files/new_page_1.htm, though the page is loading extremely slowly and unreliably at this time. As always, be very, very careful when using utilities like this. It can damage your monitor, and setting your refresh rate higher than what you monitor can support can actually start a fire in the worse circumstances! BE CAREFUL WITH ANY UTILITY LIKE THIS! Get help if you do not know what you are doing. Finally, an EASY way to get rid of the 60hz blues in OpenGL :) -Larry
RivaTuner 11.0 also fixes the rr problem for XP.......get it at GURU3D. It also can disable SBA for those of you still running VIA chipsets. Which means you can go back to 4x AGP rate and maintain stability. TP "Larry (The Other Larry)" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Y37U8.4331$%%[email hidden]...

I"ve had too many problems with RivaTuner, but thanks for the info! And RefreshForce is more like thie old nvRefFix. Simple, quick and it works. Oh, and there's NO residual software running after you use it. -Larry "Tom Pabst" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Be7U8.373567$352.46523@sccrnsc02... > RivaTuner 11.0 also fixes the rr problem for XP.......get it at GURU3D.It

This one doesn't work for me. That's been the problem since nvreffix died. None of the post nvreffix tools have been working for everyone. It's been scattered success. Plus, I prefer the "Mash One Button And Be Done With It" method of nvreffix and RefreshForce. ReForce address an angle that I've not seen in the other utilities, and that's the possibility of multiple Monitor Records for the same display in the system. I think this is why this one actually works where the others have failed. -Larry "Mika Takala" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:G8hU8.252$[email hidden]...
