Refresh Rates, Dos Games, and Windows 2000 an exercise in FUTILITY

[AaronP]

ok folks, does ANYONE know of a good way to set the refresh rates of dos games that run in W2K, how about Win98/ME for that matter? ARRGH, I wanna play these games, but I REFUSE to look at a 60HZ screen.

PS ya know what would rule, if Windows had it built in so that you could set the refresh rates in 1 HZ increments instead of the usual 60,70,72,75,85 etc...

ARRGH@!!!!@!@!@!@!@

Changing the resolutions in 1Hz. increments would be impossible since no monitor out there today supports all those resolutions. Windows can only support the resolutions that your monitor does.

Sorry, I don't really have an answer to your other question. I don't think my Philips monitor looks all that bad at 60Hz.

if I am not mistaken though, any monitor that can do 85 hz, can do anything below 85 hz in 1 hz increments. at least all modern monitors can.

I dunno if this works in Win2K, but for Win9x the best program I've seen is Unirefresh. It says it's 21-day shareware, but it doesn't expire nor are there any nag screens. I've never had a problem with it.
