Unable to deselect 'Use DDC Information'

kclawhammer · Apr 30, 2005, 04:54 PM

Greetings, all. I've been struck with the incredibly annoying and headache-producing 60Hz problem. I've been having this problem off and on since I got this card. Sometimes I'd do something and it would work like a charm, and I wouldn't touch it. It was working fine at 85Hz last night, then I rebooted. Now it's stuck at 60Hz. Everything I can find tells me to unselect the button that reads 'Use DDC Information.' However, that button is checked, depressed, and grayed out so I can't make any changes to it. Nothing I do will change it- not multi-res, not a driver reinstall, not a monitor driver reinstall.

How can I fix this?

System specs:
Athlon XP on an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe (nForce 2)
ATI Radeon 9800SE
Omega 2.6.12 with the softmod to 9800 NP/Pro
Windows XP w/SP1
NEC MultiSync FP 950

chipset drivers?

Chipset drivers are newly upgraded to the latest nForce2 drivers- 5.10. I reinstalled the Omega drivers after that and still no go.

What monitor shows in Video properties window? (Desktop right click, Properties) Does it show "default monitor or your monitor?

I suppose this is CRT since you care about refresh rate? Is it hooked to VGA connector or DVI-to-VGA dongle?

It's connected via VGA, but I've figured it out. I changed some settings in the same tab that the DDC button is in- I put the refresh rate and resolution to the max the monitor could support, and then the button became uncheck (still greyed out, but that doesn't matter).
