its the display drivers, not windows 7.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

because its xp.

Still using CRT's? yikes!
The latest nvidia driver is 190.15, you need a modded inf to use it though, get it at laptopvideo2go. Try those first, its MOST LIKELY nvidia drivers, as they're still a slight bit immature.
I would suggest just getting a 120hz LCD. Theyre a bit pricey (around $300 for the viewsonic, the cheapest one out right now) I assume thats the only reason you still have a CRT, the refresh rate?
I still have a problem with nvidia detecting my monitor to run at 60hz, it instead runs it at 59hz which is kinda annoying.

Edit:
Oh i forgot to add, The RC version is a couple of months old. Im running the latest version out right now, 7264, its around on the internet, i recommend it.

59hz = 60hz, i don't get where people are having issues with this, but they need to stfu and get it into their heads.

the herz value is not a set rate, infact while my monitors info says its running at 60, its actually running at 59.950 according to the advanced monitor timing.

anyway, if its that big of a deal, just create a custom display timing. its not like its difficult.

Zedeck, create an actual monitor inf, you can do it with Rivatuner.

relying on DDC and EDID to get CRT display modes when digital displays are the future is asking for trouble.

Image uploading. Refresh page to view

I'll give it a try. Looks simple enough.

GeForce 6150SE IGP? What happened to your FX5950 Ultra or whatever?

thats in my mums system lol, my card though.

this system is pci-e. and other then games, a hell of a lot faster

its my temp system till the new one gets here.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

wrong, ATI has the issue as well, its just less people have ATI.

the problem is within the Displays EDID/DDC detection, if you can turn that off then you can force the refresh you want. Easiest method, since you use a CRT is to pull pin 15 of the monitor cable. this will force the display to only make use of the refresh modes set in the inf file.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

the main RC bugs have followed into RTM.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

you can check the monitors ui and see if you can disable DDC from there.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

except it works out of the box.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

^He is right here and that wasn't vista's fault.

Uh, yeah actually it was. Microsoft released the OS at a point where none of the hardware vendors actually considered it ready. Thats why practically nobody had drivers for it... especially so since they weren't exactly handed an RC build to build drivers on.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

BS. I was using Vista RCs long before the OS was actually released. Vendors had pleanty of time.

Nvidia and ATI were kept out of the loop then, because the last build they had was one of the 5900 Beta builds.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

Reforce only allows modes that windows itself allows.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

go ahead , problem exists with ATI too >.>

Push Pin 12 back into the connector, it should slide in and work again like nothing ever happened. (worked for me).

the 190 drivers apparently fix the CRT blurr.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

Well i can't deny, windows 7 is touted as the digital age, of operating systems.. still doesn't mean such bugs should get by.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

Lord Zedeck, why are you still using a CRT monitor? Those things are huge, heavy, bulky, and not very space friendly either.

It's a known fact that old tech and new tech don't mix well, at least in this case. Although there are some exceptions like from going from pci-express 1.x to 2.0, but that is another story/matter. It could be the driver, or it could the hardware compatibility issue, and definitely not a Windows 7 issue.

Its a windows 7 issue, now go drown in a bath already.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

Yo LZ, any updates on this?

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

I was able to force 60hz by setting my custom 60hz to 60.001hz CVT Reduced.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

well, for some (not myself as yet) 59hz caused vsynching issues in some games, and other games refused to launch....

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

yeah, definitely sounds like a cleaning is in order.

thatr 5600 is 20c too hot.

 

[Squall-Leonhart]

skip past the forums, its user to user only.

go right to the vista customer feedback forms on the nvidia site.

they've extended it to cover XP and Windows 7
