Hi. I'm running Civ 3 & PTW on WinXP Home.

The game runs fine but its impossible to get it out of 75hz refresh rate on my monitor. I'm using Reforce to force all games apps to run at the maximum allowed refresh rates due to the idiotic WinXP refresh rate limitations.

But I've tried it with and without Reforce, with KeepRes=1 and no intro and it still never plays at any other refresh rate than 75hz.

I'm running v1.27 of PTW & 1.29 CivIII - both UK versions.

My Units graphics run slow, could my refresh rates be the cause of this??

If you want to change your refresh rates edit your conquests.ini file and add the line:

Refresh=X

Just set X equal to the refresh rate you want ( I belive 75 for you)

As for the slow unit movements, I doubt that they are related, but I suppose that anything is possible.
