| | Low refresh rate I using a new laptop running Vista and have Nvidia GeForce 7600 graphics card. I'm trying to connect my TV to this computer using Svideo. It has worked in the past however I must have changed a setting somewhere? On my second computer with Xp it all connects right! So it's all connected but the display on the TV is just rolling lines as though it is scrambled. On the monitor setting, the refresh rate is stuck on 25Hertz Interlaced. Is there a way of forcing a higher refresh rate? or is there another setting I need to change? I have been seraching for months for an answer to this question. HELP PLEASE! |

| | Re: Low refresh rate Control Panel/Personalizations/open Display Settings. Click Advanced Settings. Click the Monitor tab, and then select a new refresh rate. Be sure to make a restore point first. Booting to safe mode (f8 on restart) will recover the system if it makes your system unusable. -- Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button.

| | Re: Low refresh rate Hi Mark Ive done all that but the only option is 25 Hertz interlaced. Is there another setting somewhere that can be changed to give me more options for refresh rates?

| | Re: Low refresh rate Try lowering the resolution in Display settings. You also might want to try this from Safe Mode. -- Was this helpful? Then click the Ratings button.
