    Hi there,

    If you have a CRT monitor with no windows 7 drivers, you can't change the refresh rate higher than 85hz. Is there any way to fix this? With XP, you could easily change this. Refreshlock and other programs don't seem to work for me. I have several CRT monitors that can go up to 160hz but doesn't work on Windows 7. I don't know why this is locked at 85hz. I figure they just didn't care about CRT monitors during Windows 7 development. Any help regarding this would be really great.


    Thank you

    Does your monitor show up as Generic PnP device in the monitor tab (advnanced settings)? And is the hide modes ... check box grayed out?
