    Hi guys,

    Maybe you can help me with a very annoying problem.
    I tried the NV Refreshtool 2.0 on this site:
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/article.php?sid=1457&cat=22

    It works perfect. That is, the refresh is good now in my games.
    Only when I try to run Battlefield 1942 it doesn't start at all.
    I know it's because of the refreshtool, because when I reinstalled Windows XP Pro, this was the first game I installed. I installed every update and the SP1 of Windows XP.
    I started the game for the first time and I saw it was running at 60Hz. Oh yeah, I thought, I still have to run the refreshtool.
    I installed it, congigured it and rebooted the system.
    Next time I started playing Battlefield it crashed.
    Can anyone help me with this problem.
    I have to change some registry settings for this I guess. I want to return them to default settings...
    Does anyone know WHICH settings in the registry this tool changes???

    (I tried uninstalling the tool, but it doesn't change anything)

    Thanks!
    Rahvin

    The game is set to 60 hz by default, so what you have done now causes the game to crash. You need to open VideoDefault.con located in the subdirectory settings and add this line or modify the 0 to 1:


    renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1


    It will now run.
