can't change monitor after installing geforce
This is a discussion about can't change monitor after installing geforce in the Windows Hardware category; ARGH, this is driving me nutz OK, I was lucky to get me a Creative Annihilator Pro today at my local CompUSA. Installation worked like a charm, no problems (running RC2). Next I tried to switch back to my normal 1600x1200 (on my 21 Viewsonic PT813) and tried to get refresh to 85Hz.

Next I tried to switch back to my normal 1600x1200 (on my 21" Viewsonic PT813) and tried to get refresh to 85Hz. The card can deliver, the monitor can handle but Win2000 RC2 won't let me do more than 75Hz.
Well, next I looked at the Monitor settings in the display properties .... and what do I have to see ??? The Properties button for monitor greyed out!
No chance to get Win2K to chance the monitor from default. I tried "find new hardware", both automatic and manual, the monitor is plug&pray ... but no chance to select anything monitor, not even under manual any monitor manufacturers available.
I WANT MY 85HZ BACK (under 1600x1200)!
Using the 3.5.3 that came on the driver CD (remember, I'm using RC2), I'm not sure if the newer drivers will work or fix my problem.

OP
OK, that helped ..... now why isn't my D3D working ?
DXDiag (the final DX7) shows D3D not avail but it passes the test ...
Are the 3.53 the best drivers for RC2 ?
I want this card to run, i'm tired of my G200.
Sorry about my whining ... I just coughed up 300 buckaroos for this baby (and I know that RC2 is still beta OS )
