Registry Key to change Refresh Rates?

[Jutny]

I need to manually adjust my refresh rate, i would use powerstrip, but i cant afford it, plus i REALLY hate powerstrip (but thats another story)

someone once told me that you could edit the value of the refresh rate that the driver uses when you select a certin refresh in the control panel... this is due to the new drivers driving harder, or something like that (70hz used to work, now it gives me an Over Range, so i need to manually adjust it down.)

so how do i do this?

It is not up to the computer what is an overrange or not, it is whether or not the monitor can handle it, the only possible thing is that maybe you have the wrong monitor install, so it won't give you that refresh rate, but you can always hit the thing saying Hide modes that the monitor can't do... other than that you are probably stuck.
just to maybe help a little more
what resolution, video card(yours from your sig), color depth, and monitor are you trying to run this on? Also if it is yours from your sig w/ the dual monitors how do you have that set up, separate cards or same one?

hope that helped maybe a little

1600x1200 Geforce3, Optiquest Q95 (max is 69hz at that res)

on the 21.85 drivers, the 70hz setting would work, but my dual monitors wouldnt word (you need NView in the 27.10's to make it work with 2 nvidia cards) but now with the 27.10's the 70hz setting is an overrange.
