The mode you select time TimeDX has no correlation with the mode DMDX  uses, it only affects the mode TimeDX will test.  DMDX either uses  640x480x8 at 0Hz or whatever the  keywords tells it to  use.  TimeDX must be used for each video mode that DMDX might use, you have  to select that video mode and you must time and save those values in the  registry.  Which brings us to 640x480x8 0Hz vs. 640x480x8 75Hz.  Under  older versions of windows video drivers only ever enumerated 0Hz video  modes meaning no control over refresh rate, you take whatever the default  is.  Under XP (and maybe 2000) you can now select the refresh rate you want  and these are all distinct from 0Hz mode which is what is used by DMDX by  default.                                                 /"\\   -jonathan (j.c.f.)                            \\ /                                                  X      ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN - AGAINST HTML MAIL  / \\ "We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!"                                                    -  Vroomfondel
