Default Adj Monitor Refresh Rate

You should be able to choose any resolution and refresh rates your
video card is capable of and not just the ones that Windows thinks
your monitor is capable of and force your video card to use that
setting.

I know I've seen this with NVidia video cards, but maybe not with ATI
cards.

Anyways, do you have a driver for your monitor? Does it appear in
device manager?

I had manually installed the Envision 910 monitor drivers.

Is there somehow I can go into the Win98SE registry and tell
Windows to set it to the refresh rate that I want, overriding
what Windows thinks it should do?


I've located a file called epi_inf.exe which contains a bunch of .INF
and .ICM files for various Envision monitors (including the 910).

I assume you have the file en910.inf. If you don't, I can post it
here. It should give you the refresh rates you're looking for.
