OMG!!! I went to Andrew's video card source (www.evga.com) and noticed their Geforce2MX drivers were newer than my card's site (www.gainward.com) I downloaded them and crossed my fingers. nVIEW was in there and it ROCKS!!!!
I can now have different refresh rates for my Sony21" and my 17" LCD. The LCD only seems to be sharp at 60HZ, and on my Sony, I get a headache at that rate!) I don't have dialog boxes pop up between the two monitors anymore!! Woo hoo!!!!!! And I swear the fonts are a little sharper! Everyone that has a Gainward card should give it a shot!!
