I have set all my Win2K resolutions refresh rates to 75 HZ. Ok Fine. Now whenever I start a game like Quake 3. Win2k changes refresh rate to default 60HZ. What Gives?
why does win2000 change resolution to 60HZ in Games?

Not sure, But there are a few utilities out there that can change the res of any game without windows 2000 screwing it up. Try going to 3DFiles and searching through their archives.
If that doesn't produce anything of any use you can try FIle Flash and check out their list of beta programs (I'm pretty sure the program you need will be listed on one of those sites.
Hope this helps!

Read an article somewhere, maybe the latest MaximumPC, that tells you how to fix this. You have to remove every refresh rate below your desired framerate from the .inf file for your monitor and maybe your display adapter. This makes it impossible for Win2k to use anything less than that which you set as the minimum in the file.

Here's something else:
In Quake3, hit the ~ and type "seta r_displayrefresh xx" It will remember the refresh rate.
If you're using an nVidia board, there's a program that I found on the net which fixes the refresh rate problems. Here is a link to my webspace where you can download it, that is, if you have an nVidia-based board.

When I run OpenGL games in Windows 2000, how do I keep the screen refresh from defaulting to 60Hz?
A. Ulf Hallberg sent this tip that might prove useful for the gamers out there! If you're running OpenGL games in Win2K and you're running a graphics card from Nvidia, such as TNT or Geforce, you can edit the installation file for the driver to remove the 60Hz option in the resolution you play in. Doing so forces the game to run in the next higher refresh rate (e.g., 70Hz). To get even higher refresh rates, remove higher rates (e.g., 70Hz) to force games to run at 75Hz. The one drawback to this solution is that you then can't use the 60Hz refresh rate even in Win2K because you've disabled 60Hz for the specific resolution.
