Refresh prob

[claypidgon]

Hi all this is my question.My operateing system is WIN98SE,PNY GF4 TI4400-128 with DET 42.01 drivers.In the control panel under adapter it only shows two refresh rates,adapter default and optimal.If I set it to optimal it defaults to adapter default.Whats the deal?Is there a fix for this? Thank you...

i'm on XP and it's been a while since i've used 98se so your controls might be slightly different (or perhaps they changed with 42.01 cuz i'm on 41.09)
anyhow, i do right click on desktop -> properties -> settings -> advanced -> geforce 4, then on the menu that pops out to the left i choose "refresh rate override" from under the "Direct 3D settings" menu, which is under the Performance and Quality settings, once here you choose "override refresh rates" instead of "applications control refresh rate" and change the resolution(s) you use to whatever refresh rate you know your monitor can handle

tell me where our procedures differ...? (are you using the "monitor" tab instead of the geforce one, or do you not have these tabs at all...i don't remember 98 that well)
