Yes, same in Win 9x. For Win95/98 exists a tool (HZ Tool) - http://hem.passagen.se/doxx/ that allow to select the refresh rate. I didn´t tried it on Windows 2000.

This fix works but you HAVE to run dxdiag.exe and set the override setting in the "more help" box.

Hey the link you provide ( http://home.swipnet.se/tristan/files/DirectDrawRefreshRateFixWin2k/Ddrawfix.zip) is right dead by now. My system need a fix cause
the dxdiag override does not work at all with my TNT 2 and the .inf tweaking lead a side effect that prevent me from using.

What do this fix is making ?

I don't know if this fix will also work for your TNT2 ... it works great for my CL Anni Pro
Check out this thread and see if it'll also work for you.

I'm very glad all of you in this forum are
very nice trying to help with that matter. But every fix report to that .inf tweaking which can't be apply without bugs on my PC.

That thread, DocSilly, concern the .inf once again. Thank you however and I hope nvidia
will wake up.
