Adj Monitor Refresh Rate
I am running a dual boot system, Win98SE and Win2000Pro.(AMD 2200 XP with 1GB of
ram). I had posted about the monitor problem awhile back (OT Monitor MicroProcessor on May 11,07) Recently, I discovered that I could change the refresh rate on my monitor in win2000 even thought the monitor's EDID was corrupted.; I had manually installed the Envision 910 monitor drivers. Then, I let Win2000 install my monitor as a Default VGA Monitor and then it worked when I set the refresh rate manually and unchecked 'using EDID'. I did this through the Catlyst Control Center within my ATI drivers. (Radeon 8500LE with the latest drivers). Since I lost the EDID in my 19" Envision910 Monitor awhile back, I could only get 60Hz refresh rate, even though I let Windows try to use 85Hz (display properties). No matter what I set it to, it would not change from 60Hz.At present, I am stuck at 60Hz in Win98SE (somewhat hard on the eyes.. The ATI drivers (same version number as the one I have installed in Win2000) don't have the Catylst Control Center option of letting me disable the EDID detection 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? If this sounds confusing, I'm sorry. I tried Franc Zabkar's great suggestion to my earlier post, to no avail. Hopefully, someone out there can give me the solution or, at least, a path to travel besides getting a new monitor or deleting Win98SE. :-) |
