    Hello,
    I have problem my Acer 5102 because my graphic adapter frequency is only 60hz in 1280x800. I have installed latest drivers, but nothing helps, there is no chance to change other hz than 60hz... So if somebody have good advice to me I will be glad.

    Are you talking about the refresh rates? If so, then their use is redundant when it comes to LCD screens. Refresh rates are only applicable to CRT monitors.

    Yes I mean refresh rate, so it's normal in my acer only 60hz, because I feel that before I formated my hard drive it was more...

    Yes, it should be normal. 60Hz is the default refresh rate that Windows XP assigns & since you have a LCD the dialog box is either greyed out or 60Hz remains the only option.

    Refresh rates do not apply to LCDs because there is no refreshing line. The pixels simply hold its colour until told otherwise.
