Hi,

I was using a different monitor over christmas and have come back to University and am using my normal monitor. I forgot my VGA cable so had to buy a new one, the problem is that the refresh rate seems to be wrong.

Before i could only go up to 85 or 90, now it gives me the option of up to 200. The strange thing is that whenever I change the refresh rate nothing seems to change. I used to be able to notice if i switched to 60hz, then back to 80hz. Though now it is indestinguishable. It seems to be permanently between 60-70hz. I tried updating the ATi drivers, though no success.

Any ideas why this is happening? Could it be the graphics card or the monitor?

Thanks
