Just can't change the refresh rate from 60Hz

In my video settings I've got it set to play DirectX games at the same refresh rate as my desktop which is generally 85Hz. For nearly all the games I've got this works fine.

However, for CS:S the game kept wanting to play at 60Hz. I used Powerstrip to override the monitor refresh rate and lock it at 85Hz. This worked fine for CS:S but doesn't work in HL2, just seems that no matter what I try I can't change the default 60Hz.

Anyone had this problem and found a solution ? Maybe a config command setting ?

Cheers,
Terry

Tried with & without latest Powerstrip running with lock refresh rates.

P.S. Am I sick ? Just been playing the first intro up to the crowbar and the funniest thing I found was throwing the baby doll with the missing arm around. WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH ! :LOL:
