Monitor refresh rates in XP
This is a discussion about Monitor refresh rates in XP in the Windows Hardware category; Hi, I'm dual booting 98/XP & in 98se I can set the refresh rate to optimal, yet in XP the only options in Display properties are individual refresh values + defaults to 75hz.

Hi,
I'm dual booting 98/XP & in 98se I can set the refresh rate to optimal, yet in XP the only options in Display properties are individual refresh values + defaults to 75hz. If I try to up the refresh rate then the display is re-sized?
My monitor is an Iiyama Pro451 which can do 160hz @ 1024x768 & 110hz @ 1280x1024 so how can I set XP to use the optimal refresh rates.
BTW I have dissabled vertical sync via NVmax

I have the exact same monitor that you do...but I have a voodoo3 3500 card.. My maximum rate is 100HZ all the time...that's weird... Hmm.. Anyone know how to fix this?
Install Monitor in hardware device with the inf file. Use this utility to lock refresh rates with menu option in "About Multires":

Upgrade your graphics card drivers. 7.xx - 14.xx of the nvidia driver series had this problem in W2k + XP. Assuming you have an nvidia card, upgrade to 21.83 drivers from the www.nvidia.com website.
