Refresh Rates lost if not Domain Admins

[jc909]

Got a new XP machine today, and have only got as far as setting up a desktop for it before I got problems.

Problem is that I've got an HP 1502 TFT that needs to run at 70hz (60Hz - picture is crappy).

If I log into the machine as either local administrator or domain admin and set the refresh rate to 70Hz everything is fine for these users. Problem is when a normal user logs in, as its applying group policy it resets the refresh rate to 60hz. Now, someone else did all the group policy, and I cant find anything that looks like it is able to do this - please correct me if I'm wrong. So I'm assuming its some sort of permissions issue - but what it could be I dont know...

My theory is that I should set it up as local administrator and then all the settings for this should stick for all users.

Please help as I cant use the thing with this awful picture. btw I do have latest drivers and the monitor will support 1024x768@70hz

Thx

Myabe a rights issue for the Registry setting? Look in Local machine etc. for these settings and give everyone read access?

Did you try Control Panel, Users, add the local user to the domain as a power user from this screen?
