The settings are seperate for each resolution and refresh       frequency and on some monitors it may be impossible to set them, but       this is solely due to the monitor.              If all else fails and you really do want to make it work diffirently,       you might want to give it a try to change the monitor refresh frequency       or the game resolution somehow. Please note that the resolution setting       in windows may have nothing to do with the resolution setting in your game.              Good luck.              --       Model: INFJ       Primary function: Coprocessor       Secondary function: Cluster commander              Yes I'm a therian:       http://www.wikitherian.org              Powered by Deamons(TM).              ...to live your life fast       and powerfull; and then       live your life just to keep       the Deamons at bay.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
