Where is refresh rate?

Hi,

I have been struggling with this problem for over a week already and I'm
desperately hoping that someone may know the answer to my problem.

I'm running an XP system with SP1 installed. I have a Matrox Parhelia
running with 2 CRTs and 1 TV. My problem is that
in 1600x1200 on monitor 1 & 2, I cannot force the refresh rate higher than
63 on Monitor #2 through the Matrox PowerDesk app. As expceted, Matrox Tech
Support is utterly useless.

I've gone looking through the registry trying to find out where I can
override this value, but can't seem to be successful. I know the board can
handle it, b/c by fluke, I once had it running at 75Hz (my ideal).
Unfortunately, for the life of me, can't get that back again.

Where can I find the registry settings that specify the monitor refresh rate
that appears in Display Settings - Advanced - Monitor - Refresh Rate?
That must be stored somewhere.... but where??

Thanks!

Eric

Try settings advanced adapter

Am looking for the location in the registry. The drop down in settings -
advanced - adapter only shows 60Hz. I want to force that to a different
value, but don't know how.

THanks,
