What's going on? Windows is showing only two refresh rate options.

I have a KDS AV-7TF monitor with a Hercules 3D Prophet II Geforce2 Pro video card. I messed around with some drivers, but ended going back to the Detonator 6.31. Now for some reason, the only two refresh rate options I have are optimal and adapter default. I used to use 85 Hz, but it seems that my computer has automatically defaulted to something lower, and I can't change it. What's going on?
 
I have the same problem after I, so called, upgraded to WinME. I no longer have anything above 75Hz no matter what driver I use. Please can someone post a fix please.
 
Right click on your desktop and select "Properties". Then, click on "settings", followed by "advanced properties". Check under the "monitor" tab. Does it list your exact monitor, or does it say "Plug and Play monitor" or "Unknown monitor"? If not, then you must install your specific monitor drivers.
 
I've tried that, but nothing worked. I've tried 2 different drivers from the manufacturer and the windows driver to no aval. Strange it work in Win95 and not WinME.

Oh BTW I'm running a Princeton Graphic EO17 17" monitor and a V3 2K.
 
Are you running the latest version of your video card drivers? A lot of cards require Windows ME specific drivers to run properly.
 
I had a similar problem under Windows 98SE and the 6.31 drivers and finally solved it by installing a monitor driver that was much better than my actual monitor (cheated...hehe!)...

I used a driver that was designed for a monitor that would kill mine in both resolution and bandwidth, and now I have many refresh rates listed. Keep in mind, however, that you cannot choose a resolution/refresh rate that your monitor physically "won't" run at, as it could damage your monitor.

Good luck.
