Hey all

THis is bugging me in Win2k Pro. When I am playing Red Alert 2, I change my resolution to 640x480, the screen starts to stutter a little, fliker. i check my refresh rate and it says 75mhz on the horonztal part , however my monitor only works for no more than 60mhz.. is there a way to change the refresh rate in the registers?? i tried the display property method-thing but doesn't seem to work..

any help would be appreciated!

thanks
 
Are you using the correct drivers for your monitor? The way I fixed something similar was bu hacking the monitor drivers before I installed them

So check which files are used by your monitor. Do a text search for some odd resolution number like "768" inside the files you know are for your monitor. Open them up with notepad and edit them.

Then install or update the drivers like you'd do for a new monitor.

Now, I think you should invest some money in a new monitor. Once your eyes go bad it will cost a whole lot to fix them back, if possible.
 
Here is the monitor.inf .. this part include is my monitor.. decaview G380

;G380, V262, G380f, G380+
[DVC_70_160]
DelReg=DEL_CURRENT_REG
AddReg=DVC_70_160.AddReg

[DVC_70_160.AddReg]
HKR,"MODES\1280,1024",Mode1,,"30-70,50-160,+,+"
HKR,,MaxResolution,,"1280,1024"
HKR,,DPMS,,1
HKR,,ICMProfile,1,9

I should just change the 50-160 into 50-60 and that should work corect??
 
Hmmm... I don't know about that number. In my case the .inf file was actually for the video card I just realized.
And the inf was more like this:
.

HKR,"TIMINGS\800,600\60Hz",Supported,,"BPP+8+16+32,DDRAW,TVO_DESK,TVO_DD,NTSC,PAL,DFP_DESK,DFP_DD"
HKR,"TIMINGS\800,600\75Hz",,,"1056,816,896,625,601,604,0,49500000,7500,8,17056"
HKR,"TIMINGS\800,600\75Hz",Supported,,"BPP+8+16+32,DDRAW"
HKR,"TIMINGS\800,600\85Hz",,,"1048,832,896,631,601,604,0,56250000,8506,8,18751"
.

As you can see the frequency is pretty clearly stated. Check your video card drives before the installation. I say that because for me they changed after the installation.

I haven't tried Dulanic's answer, but it may be easier.
