Solved - Monitor refresh rate configuration?

There are various resolution hacking utilities but I'm guessing that the game will talk straight to the driver.

I've found a solution. There's a utility called
DisplayConfigX that allows you to override whatever
the display says or doesn't say about itself.

I used it to set the maximum vertical frequency
to 75Hz and save a new set of resolutions based on
that. All the games that were giving me trouble
before now work perfectly!
