Hi, I need help with an issue. I currently have a DELL2007WFP monitor with an NVidia8800 756mb graphics card and a dual core 2.66ghz processor. I also run Vista home premium. My monitor is locked at a refresh rate of 60hertz. How can I increase it?

If you mean you cannot change the refresh rate in the monitor's Properties tab when you say 'locked,' it is most likely a driver issue since it is the monitor's driver that determines what refresh rates are available. Check with Dell to see if there is an updated Vista driver.

60 hz is likely to be the maximum refresh rate.

Why do you want to increase it?

Any increase is likely to result in strobing effects which won't do your eyes or image any good.
