DirectX 8 and Refresh Rate/Screen Mode
My viewsonic 790 makes a loud and long delay every time there is drastic screen mode change (say from 100hz 1024. x786 to 60hz 640x480). It was never a problem for me before DirectX8 because i could either use a refresh rate program (Nvresfix) or Dxdiag's override function to set every to 100hz or 85hz.

BUT, when i moved to DirectX 8, the problem becomes unbearable as every screen change, say from starting Diablo 2 to actually getting in a game I have to go through about 10 of these delays. Quake3 is better but still maybe 5 of these just to get in a game.
Does anyone else who has run into a similar problem and/or have a solution? BTW, I use Nividia Geforce 2 GTS (the same problem w/ Geforce 256) and its only a problem w/ W2k + DX8 (I have no problem w/ the same setup w/ dual boot W98SE + DX8)....
