    Hey,
    since I am getting a bit annoyed at NVidia I need help from the people who mod those forceware INFs so perfectly.
    Problem : 174.74 official beta and the last official 169 WHQL (can't remember the number) messed up the refresh rates for my video projector. It only offers me 23 and 24hz at 1920x1080.

    Funny thing : ALL leaked drivers with modded INFs from here work perfectly fine, I actually just now went back to 174.70 and all is fixed without me doing anything, it booted right into the correct resolution and refresh.

    Since this seems to be ignored by NVidia (the 169 driver is quite old now and had the same bug so with this newest official beta STILL having it I am not holding my breath for an official fix), I'd like to know what I have to edit in the INF file to fix this.
    I already tried comparing the 174.70 modded INFO with the 174.74 official but honestly, it might as well be written in cantonese....meaning I don't understand a word ;p

    I'd really appreciate some help and from reading in other forums there's more people with this problem so those guys would probably be thankful too :)

    Thanks

    Look for a heading in the INF named [nv_SoftwareDeviceSettings] and add this entry:

    Code:
    HKR,, UseBestResolution,              %REG_DWORD%,    1
    Then overwrite the entire section that begins with "HKR,, NV_Modes, %REG_MULTI_SZ%," with the following code:

    Code:
    HKR,, NV_Modes,  %REG_MULTI_SZ%, "{*}S 320x200 320x240 400x300 480x360 512x384 640x350 640x400 640x480 720x400 720x480 720x576 768x576 852x480 853x480 854x480 864x480=1FFF;"
    HKR,, NV_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "SHV 800x600 1024x640 1024x768 1152x864 1176x664 1280x720 1280x768 1280x800 1280x854 1280x960 1280x1024 1360x768 1365x768 1366x768 1400x1050 1440x900 1600x900 1600x1000 1600x1024 1600x1200 1680x1050 1768x992 1800x1440 1920x1080 1920x1200 1920x1440 2048x1280 2048x1536 2560x1600 3840x2400x8,16,32,64=1F;"

    Thank you, that worked like a charm.
    Finally I can use official drivers again if they are newer than the leaked ones :)
