DirectX full screen applications/games run at 60Hz !

Why DirectX full screen applications/games run at 60Hz? Why my monitor
refresh rate switch from 75Hz to 60Hz when I execute a full screen DirectX
application? Why we found the same Windows XP 60Hz bug in Windows Vista?

What kind of monitor do you have? CRT or LCD?
