please help... refresh rate override not working... again

[legacy-ll0rt]

Hi, I play at 1280x1024 @100Hz, and I also have my windows desktop set to 1280x1024 @ 100Hz. It works just fine on the desktop, but when I play UT2004, it automatically lowers to 60Hz, which looks really bad and gives me a headache. I have tried over riding the refresh rates in the Nvidia control pannel, which did not help at all, and I also tried setting OverrideDesktopRefreshRate in the UT2004.ini to true and the DesiredRefreshRate set to 100, but that also did not work. PLEASE HELP ME. I can't stand 60Hz, it looks SOO bad and gives me such a bad headache. Is there anything I can do?

BTW,
It always used to work fine, I don't know what happened.

Hmmm need a little more info, what monitor is it?....also have you tried reinstalling the drivers for the monitor and/or graphics card?

Hopefully we can find a solution to this, I'm usually good with monitor problems.

**edit** what drivers are you using for your gfx card also?

and also try this little utility

I have a LaCie electron19blueIV CRT monitor, and I am using the 71.89 Nvidia drivers.

EDIT:
That override program worked! Thanks!
