Can I keep the Powerstrip settings w/o Powerstrip running?

[duragezic]

I got Powerstrip and finally fixed (I think) the refresh rate for all the resolutions and in D3d and Opengl modes. Finally, man that was pissing me off. Anyway the only way it works is for Powerstrip to be up and I heard that you can get the settings and then get rid of powerstrip and they stay. How do I do this? Thanks.

yes, you have to find all the registry settings you need. That's all that windows depends on, that's all that PowerStrip changes.

 

[duragezic]

How would I go about finding which settings it modifies?

yes...... i have my display running at 1400 x 1050 @ 85 mhz using powerstrip, but it doesn't have to be running all the time. just go into powerstrip, adjust everything the way you like it and then go into add custom resolution and powerstrip will just add it into the window registry so you can change the settings through control panel's display settings.

 

[duragezic]

So I have to add a custom res for it to add it all to registry?

I don't know exactly what registry settings it changes, there are too many that could be affecting your computer to count, so I would recommend running this program until your problem either disappears (it happens), or you re-format your windows partition..

 

[duragezic]

Alright. Well I don't think the problem will disappear... damn win2k it's the only thing I don't like about it.

I don't really have a problem running it just I'm always making sure I don't have a ton of crap loaded. I'll have volume control, mouseware, usually icq (98, only 5mb ram used) so I have plenty of ram for games and I don't need to be swapping so much. WW2 Online needs all it can get. Powerstrip only takes 4mb so it doesn't matter.

I got about 5-6 60hz fixes and this one guy (the fix I used) said his settings were saved even after uninstalling powerstrip.

 

[duragezic]

I'll try a final bump.

Oh, and Soccerman, how would a format solve this (lol I think I sound rude with that but I'm seriously asking hehe)?

 

[Floydian]

I think soccerman suggested reformating the windows partition, not his whole hard drive, as this would clean out his registry (since it looks like its been changed a ton).

 

[Soccerman]

a format would mean you have to re-install windows, which means whatever problem you have now would not happen again, so long as you don't do the thing that caused the problem in the first place.

 

[duragezic]

Oh I see.

Well the problem is the whole 60hz thing is a win2k bug. So reinstalling would just cause it to come back and you get 60hz for all resolutions unless you do something about it.
