Probier mal das:


Finaly I found a workaround to fix that damn refresh rate problem with deto 21.80.. it is a bit of editing but it works:

here is what you have to do :

assuming you have allredy 21.80 installed ..let it for now ?

1.find your DETONATOR 21.80 INSTALER & UNPACK it with your favorite ZIP tool in some folder

2 in this FOLDER find the file "nv4disp.inf" open it with your favorite edit pad

3.here we come to serious EDITING : you have to know your GFX model ( If you have Geforce 2 GTS/PRO/ULTRA look for Nv15 Geforce 3 Nv20) & monitor refresh rate abilities in almost all resolutions & BPPs (look your MONITOR manual for resolutions/refresh abillities)

now with that inf opened in some EDIT pad you have to find the resolution/refresh part of the inf..it looks like that :

;
; NV15 (NV15) Supported Reference Modes
;
; NOTE: 640x480 MUST be listed FIRST in this list !!!!!
;

HKR,, NV15_Modes, %REG_MULTI_SZ%, "8 640 480 85 100 120 0"
HKR,, NV15_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "8 320 200 85 0"
HKR,, NV15_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "8 320 240 85 0"
HKR,, NV15_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "8 400 300 85 0"
HKR,, NV15_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "8 480 360 85 0"
HKR,, NV15_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "8 512 384 85 0"

here is a part of my EDITING I started with 85hz before it was started with 60,70,75,..but I deleted this values letting the first value to be 85

NOW WARNING you have to be sure that your monitor can handle refresh/resolution setings you made..OK!..here a part of HIGHER resolutions edited by myself :

HKR,, NV15_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1024 768 85 100 120 0"
HKR,, NV15_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1152 864 85 100 120 0"
HKR,, NV15_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1280 768 85 100 120 0"
HKR,, NV15_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1280 960 85 100 120 0"
HKR,, NV15_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1280 1024 85 100 120 0"

so you can see for exemp. that my 16bit 1024 x 768 resolution starts with 85Hz folowed by 100 & 120 ..so I still can change the resolution to take 100Hz refresh rate but my DEFAULT REFRESH rate will be 85Hz

You have to do changins for all resolutions and BPPs (8,16,32) & the same for folowing modes :
;
; NV15BR (NV15BR) Supported Reference Modes
;
; NOTE: 640x480 MUST be listed FIRST in this list !!!!!
all under
&

;
; NV15GL (NV15GL) Supported Reference Modes
;
; NOTE: 640x480 MUST be listed FIRST in this list !!!!!
all under

with all this 3 modes EDITED (you have to edit only one mode complitely & then only COPY/PASTE into other mode but first DELETE all under that section before COPY/PASTE) don't forget to SAVE before exiting..

4.now DEINSTAL DETO 28.81 (if they was installed) reboot & let the default XP driver to load , once in desktop open REGISTRY with regedit FIND & ERASE this :HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\nv4

5 INSTALL DETO 20.81 by hand, pointing to search the driver from your created FOLDER (where the inf is edited)..reboot & that's it..I hope!

It is only for XP because I run it..still it my work with W2K but Im not sure!

It works well for me:

many,many THANKS to ppl from NVMAX forum for hints & tips!
