screen refresh rate and automatic boot

Hi,
1-can someone help me set my screen refresh rate? I don´t seem to find where
the 60 and 75 hz are!. since I put vista ultimate on my 2 computers, they
don´t display where I can do the change. I follow the instruction in the help
menu, but the only thing I see is "use hardware default setting".
2-Also does someone know how I can set my computer such a way it can start
automatically at a particular time?
Thanks for the help

Re: screen refresh rate and automatic boot

The BIOS settings will sometimes allow setting a boot up time.
bios setup access keys. Go to:

My graphics adapter puts an icon in the Notification area for Graphic
Properties like refresh rate. You might also find an icon for graphics in
Control Panel

click the Ratings button. Voting helps the web interface.

The refresh rate setting is at; Control Panel -> Appearance and Personalization -> Personalization -> Display Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Monitor tab.

If you are indeed navigating to this location, and still have the grayed-out "use hardware default settings" box, you need to identify your graphics adapter and update or install drivers for it.
