screen refresh utilities..

Hi, I run my destop at 1024@60hz(monitor isn't capable of any better) and want to run gpl at 800@72hz without having to manually configure it everytime I play. Are there any utilities that can perform this function for me? I can't use the latest detonator drivers cause they cause stutters on my tnt2 so I need some 3rd party application I think...or any other ideas? BTW I'm on XP Thanks

probably better to post in a more appropriate newsgroup but.... Try reforce. Do a google search.Ithink its also available at www.guru3d.com .Personally i use a refresh utility nVidia Refresh Rate Fix from www.sheep-design.net .Currently with Det XP 30.82 with GF3 -- [email hidden] Steve H GPLRank -13.90 Can't help about the shape i'm in Can't win, it ain't pretty and my tires are thin...

I agree. RefreshForce, IMHO, is the best and most useable of the Refresh Rate fixers out there. It works where many others fail because it actually access the monitor and driver records in Windows PROPERLY. However, you should make sure you have the correct Monitor driver installed first. If your Monitor is just shown as a "Plug & Play Monitor", then it is using the generic driver. Go to the manufacturers web site and get and install the correct driver first. If there is no driver, then at least make SURE you do not set the refresh rate to a value higher than what the specs say the Monitor can support. Doing so can cause serious damage to the Monitor, especially lower-cost monitors. I'm suprised that at 1024X768 the highest refresh rate yours can support is 60hz. Is this a really old Monitor? What kind of monitor is it? Larry "straiton" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1044020906.855139@teuthos... > probably better to post in a more appropriate newsgroup but.... > > Try reforce.

I got it in 2000 with my comp..though I don't have a driver installed for it so maybe if I did it could go higher. In the settings it says it's capable of doing 70hz@1024 but whenever I select that it isn't accepted when I click apply. It's a LITEON monitor by the way, don't know if that's a cheapo brand or not.

I can't even bear 75Hz for more than an hour before I get a headache. Do yourself a favour and get a new one CRT's are very cheap these days and even LCD's have come down to affordable levels. There are quite a few refresh fixes for NVIDIA cards at www.guru3d.com. Some Call Me Tim
