Help with refresh lock

JLK · Jun 6, 2002, 11:22 AM

Just installed new 1.0.71b drivers and having some problems with refresh lock. For some reason when playing a game that is set to diffferent resolution than desktop when exiting game desktop won't go back to resolution it was set at. Am i missing something here? I don't see where you tell it what desktop should be, though you shouldn't have to. No offense but I like the ati refresh fix that was bundled with the previous drivers, u set it once and that was it. I know what refresh rates to set for all my resolutions, I just want them set and that's it, no icon in tray, etc.

Thx

Why dont you use RefreshFix instead of RefreshLock?

Unfortunately there is no uninstall for refresh lock. And want to completely rid refresh lock before using refresh fix. Had problems in past with multiple refresh fix programs.

Yeah - I had a problem with one version, but it was fixed the next day so no-biggie

Whats the uninstallation problem with RefreshLock?

I think the problem he refers to is that the O.P. drivers uninstall EVERYTHING if you uninstall refresh lock, that's not a bug, but an installer limitation, I can't fix it

But you can delete the refresh lock program form the OP drivers installation folder and then remove it's shortcut, that's it.
