I'm using it fine with WinXP Pro and retail Radeon 9700. Did you go through and set each resolution?

Jupp.
Can't get 120hz to work in 320x200.
Need it for QuakeWorld.
I have also tryed radeonator 2.0 and RefreshFix 0.9.
Can't get it to work with anyone of them.
Are there more programs that I can test?

Refresh Force works perfectly - just turn off DDC information in your driver control panel and set your maximum values manually.

OK looks like I need to tweak harder then.
I'll give it one more shot.
You got more tips the just turn off DDC?

BTW where can I find the DDC option? :)

The DDC thing did not work :(

The 320x200 mode is really bad.
The monitor says that its 640x480
But it's displaying it as 320x200.
And it runs under 60hz.
Even if both 320x200 and 640x480 is on 120hz.
Please help!

I got a Nokia Multipgraph 446Xpro monitor.
I have bin playing QW for a long time under 120hz in 320x200 so that was not a problem before.

I'm having problems with Win2000 Pro SP3 running all my games at 60Hz as well, except I'm using a Voodoo3. I tried refresh force but it didn't do anything at all. My games still run at 60Hz. What exactly is DCC and how do you go about modifying it? I couldn't find anything in my display properties, either in the adapter drivers or the monitor menu, that resembled anything like that.
Also, refresh force stated that the "Hide display settings that monitor can't handle" must be checked, but mine's grayed out and unchecked...do I have to worry about that?

Thanks!
