Refresh rate problem with Windows XP and Ti 500! Need help!

[Rick67]

I'm at the end of my rope with this one. All my games that don't have an option to select refresh rate are stuck at 60Hz. Quake 3 and Max Payne to name a couple. Is anyone else with a similar system having the same problem? Is this a driver problem with my new Ti 500, my monitor, Windows XP, or a combination of these? I hooked a 2 year old Sony Multiscan E200 monitor up to my rig and I was still stuck at 60Hz. On my old PC (P2 333, Windows '98, GeForce 2 MX (Detonator XP v21.83), Sony Multiscan E200) I have an option to select optimal refresh rate in the Display Properties Monitor tab. I don't have this option with my P4. Is the monitor tab part of my Ti 500 drivers? Anyone know why this is? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
