How do I turn off Vert. Sync. in W2K on my Savage 4?

Don't tell me to buy a new card..... I know it's old. ;-)
I have newer Tech. but this old thing still produces a playable
Quake2 game in Win '98..... but the W2K driver is not as good.

well the subject says it all - I've got an old Creative 3D blaster
Savage 4, the '98 drivers have a "disable vertical sync" setting
but not the W2K one's - help, this causes VERY crappy frame rates!!!
There must be a reg hack or something.... maybe some other
drivers??

Can you disable it in Quake 2 some way? I've never played Q2 so I'm not too familiar with it's preferences and all that.
Maybe a 3rd party program?

I think it's possible by using PowerStrip. You can find it here -> http://www.guru3d.com/files/

Here's a link where there are certain documented registry settings -> http://sdn.fgn.com/s3reg.html
It didn't say if it was for W98 or W2K.

Otherwise you can try & see if s3tweak will do the job -> http://www.3dcenter.de/downloads/s3tweak.php

Thanks folks... yes there is an option to turn off V. Sync in Quake2
but it does not work in W2K and the WV reg setting is also not there
in W2K....... I will try S3Tweak over the weekend and let you know
how it goes.
Thanks again for the input.
