    Is the refresh lock @ 60Hz a problem in 2000 as well as XP with the new 40.41 drivers?? Does this affect the 30.82 drivers as well??? Sorry if these sound like newb questions but I'm still catchin up on all the new stuff since I've been out of PC's for awhile.

    As far as I know both the 40.41 and the 30.82 have refresh locked to 60Hz in 2000/XP.

    Well dam. Thanks for the info Spike. I thought it did b/c I was seeing refresh lines in some of 3D Mark tests and in some scenes in Jedi Knight II. I'll make sure to get the refresh fix tonight as I'm re-builiding my system tonight. I tried to change from ACPI in Win 2K to Standard PC and FOOKED it all up. :D:D:D:D:D:D

    NVRefreshTool 2.0

    NVRefreshTool is a utility used to fix the problem in Windows 2000/XP that sets your refresh rate to 60Hz when you play any game. This problem occurs whether or not you have a higher refresh rate set in your Display Properties of Windows.
