yeah, all of u guys r right, i have found another way myself now. i leeched a version of the win2k refresh rate fix that WORKS. i hadnt even to run it in win2k compatibility mode, it just worked! But, in fact this little fix doesnt do anything else than waddy did (remember speedy3d.com: editing registry keys).

i have found a lot of boards where users asked how to change the refresh rate for open GL based games in windows xp. This bug is a "relict" of win2k and microsoft hasnt fixed it yet. Well, here u are: 1. Leech, install and start PowerStrip 3.x or better 2. Rightclick PS icon in systray and choose Display profiles -> Configure... 3. Click "Advanced Timing Options" 4. Click "Custom Resolutions" 5. On the Left side choose "user defined" and set up the resolution and refreh rate you want to use. Then click "Add new resolution". 6. Answer the following message boxes with yes. 7. Now in "Display profiles" menu the custom resolution should be available. 8. Make sure that you keep powerstrip running. if you dont, windows will manage the resolution and refresh rate itself and thats exactly what we dont want. 9. Now you can play games with rates higher than 60Hz. p.s.: for some nvidia graphic boards, u can also "fix" this bug by editing the registry, for more detailed information visit: http://www.speedy3d.com/articles/nvidia_rrfix/index.shtml have phun with the best win ever!!!
