Refresh Rate Problems

[!DOGgie]

I have a 17" NEC AccuSync 75F with an Athlon 1 GHz and GeForce3 running at 1024x768x32. The problem is, whenever I load into a game, the monitor's refresh rate drops to 60 Hz, instead of the 85 Hz that I typically use. WIth a GF3, I paid for fast speed, but now I can't have it??? How can you fix this problem?

-!DOG, thanks in advance.

Download Powerstrip....it's a video card utility...and you can set refresh rates on it also. It will keep your refresh rate at the level you want.

If you are in Windows 2000 you may wish to check this website out which has a utility that will modify the windows registry for you and setup all the refresh rates you'd ever need.
