I know this maybe a windows xp problem but I'm not sure. can't get
above 60hz
on opengl games . I never had a problem before. just reinstalled a
couple of opengl games and they didn't work right.tried different
drivers ,every tweak I'd ever heard of nothing works. any ideas would be
welcomed!

Hello,
On the same site download Multires : This software maintains the refresh
rate
you have selected. It's free and bug-free (I use it for years).
If Multires do not the job, examine yours drivers (monitor and graphic
card).
Check nVidia site an monitor site for a fresh version...
Even if you don't find a new version;
uninstall and re-install them.
(re)Install directx 9.

Good luck

May i assume you have tried reforce?
Best to do is completely get rid of nvidia drivers,also in registry.
Now with windows xp after installing detonators your monitor gets detected
again.
So when fiddling with 6 driver versions you could end up with 6 monitor
listings in reg.
Now when you assign the higher frequencies for monitor it could be the wrong
one from reg is taken.
In effect you have assigned the monitor from set A while running the game at
set B etc.
Could be your d3d games are windowed?So those would run in the frequency you
have selected for desktop...

like I said I've tried a bunch of utilities that set the refresh rate and they
work for everything but the opengl stuff. however I'll clean out the video
drivers and reinstall them and also do a reinstall of dx9. stay tuned.

My understanding is that WinXP locks the refresh rate in OpenGl. You
might want to do some research on that before pulling your hair out
twiddling with settings.

Reforce has *always* worked for me.

Can you select multiple monitors in Reforce menu?
Because windows installs your monitor again when upgrading drivers.
You will end up with several monitor listings in registry and if you select
the old one in reforce your games will run on the newer unmodified driver.

You get a drop-down box listing all your monitors. Usually they are
numbered from 1 to whatever. Select the one with the highest number.

Only if you have installed the "Plug'n'play monitor". I have the right
inf files for my Belinea 17", and I didn't have to change anything after
driver upgrades..

Actually, upgrading a driver "in place" doesn't cause the problem....
it happens when you delete the old driver and install the new driver.

Had the exact same problem and fixed it by going into the tweaking app put in
the display settings by nvidia and went to the area marked display timing and
changed it from auto to gtf and the problem was solved.
