What is best 27.42 drivers or 27.23 taking in count win xp ?

Guys....

it´s much easier to modify your monitor.inf instead of your display.inf.

It´s just one setting to change instead of many and it works for every driver. New and old. :smile:

OK... I'd love to use this driver, but 60hz sucks ass. "ZTN's refresh rate fix" will probably not be updated (or not soon from the developers dedication to updating it per his site). Some say you can change something in the card or monitor infs. So what do I exactly change?

The card inf is a bit more confusing than it once was. As for the monitor driver, i'd appreciate some insight on understanding its cryptic refresh/resolution entry.

An easier way to fix the Detonator v27.42 refresh rate in Win2k: http://www.warp2search.net/forum/viewtop...forum=10&0

I don´t think, that is easier. You have to do it for every new driver. And i´m not 100% sure that the new driver uses the old registry scheme.

For "anonymous" two posts ago:

This is the important part of your monitor inf:

GDM-FW900.AddReg]
HKR,"MODES2304,1440",Mode1,,"30.0-121.0,48.0-160.0,+,+"
HKR,,ICMProfile,0,"sony_d93.icm"


You see 48.0-160.0,+,+ . This is your range of refreshrates.

Change it to e.g. : 85.0-85.0,+,+ and reinstall your monitor. Then it only allows refreshrates with 85hz. The Grafikcard-Driver recognizes this and everything is ok.

Hi folks,
here is the solution for the refrashrate-problem. I am a former ATI-user and I had to live over half a Year without a programm to fix it.

So well, start regedit and go to HKey_Local_UserSystemControllset001ControllClass4D36E96E..000Modes1920,1440.
You have to chance Mode1 from 27.0-115.0,50.0-160.0,+,+
to 27.0-115.0.85.0-160.0,+,+

I mean that you have to change the third number in your prefered refreshrate. Let every other number unchanged. Do it at your on risk.
For me it worked perfect.

BTW, the new 27.43 is beautyfull :wink:

How about stability for Windows XP Pro 2600 (infinite loops error) than older driver 21.83 or 23.11 ?

I tried this wif the new drivers yesterday already.. it dun work for me

Ok I have a real problem here. First off I've install many a driver and have never been faced with this problem.

I uninstalled my video driver to install the 27.42s. When I attepmt to install the new driver everything seems to be going well until the end of the process. I get an error saying that it can't find the driver and it cancels the installation. This happens when it's done installing though. It appears as though it installed the driver but I guess it doesn't. I tried to install my previous driver and now I get the same error message. I tried like 5 different drivers with the same results. The only driver it will let me install is the standard VGA. I'm stumped and until I get this fixed I'm working with no drivers here. This has never happened before and all my troubleshooting has found nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

WinXP with a ti500

Monacious u have been BUSTED.
Hope it doesnt happen with me.

Well, I never post things that doesn't work 100% & the registry sheme is the same for 23.11 drivers & higher. L8r dudes!

Well I had to reinstall XP. Now all is well again. I'm going to stick with the 23.12s for now. I'm a little gun-shy with these 27.42s, seeing how all this happened with the attempted installation of them.
