does the refresh rate bug still exist in windows xp sp1?

[Schadenfroh]

i am using the dets 44.03s because they seem to like desert combat and i really dont want to upgrade to the latest drivers that have the refresh rate lock. does microshaft have a fix for it or does it even exist anymore. Do my OpenGL and DirectX games only operate at 60?

If I don't use the refresh fix in the Catalyst Drivers.....60Hz

my pc, occasionally on rebooting, goes down to 60hz. Please tell me where is the refresh rate lock in the Catalysts ? In the displays tab, monitor, attributes ? ive set it to 85 it still doesnt work!

just use RefreshLock... worked for me every time with any card

Yes.
Use RefreshForce.

oops, i meant to say RefreshForce, unless you find yourself constantly switching between different vid cards and monitors. thats the difference between those two : force lets you set it once and forget about it, lock gets loaded everytime so it is safer for an ever changing environment...

AFAIK & it works in my case.

In attributes I have a check next to "Use DDC Information" if that's of any help.

Just set the refresh rates you want used for each resolution in the driver control panel under the "Refresh Rate Overrides" tab.
