Does anybody know in which file and in which bytes SNAP stores

at 65 Hz, but I can't change the refresh rate to 60 Hz because
the monitor won't display an image after booting to the desktop.
Instead, I need to hook up an older monitor that doesn't object
to 65 Hz so that I can see what I'm doing. Yet changing the
refresh rate from the Screen notebook tab of the System object
doesn't stick, nor does using the Global Refresh setting in the
Advanced button. I'm fighting the need to hook up an old monitor
after every reboot because my change from 65 to 60 Hz doesn't
persist. If I can find out where SNAP stores the startup refresh
rate, I can edit the file and fix it once and for all. I'm not
afraid of editing a binary file, if that's how SNAP stores it.


SNAP stores the refresh rate in x:\os2\drivers\snap\config\graphics\crtc00.dat

for the base monitor. It's a binary file so you can only edit it with binary editor.
