As far as I remember -I'm at work now and cannot have a look under the hood of my box - :
Search the registry for Glide.
You should find a list of refresh rates for each display resolution.
Edit the lines for the resolutions you want to force a minimum refresh rate. Default refresh rate should be 60 Hz. Just replace 60 by 85.
Beware, do not mess with the lay-out of the editing window and carefully leave the dot separators as they are.
Before editing, I would recommend to export the original registry key so that you will be able to restore in case you f**k the key.
Good luck!

I have V3 and for fixing the refresh rate I use V.Control.I think it should work for V2 too.You can get it at: http://www.voodooextreme.com/koolsmoky/
Here is the key
