    It means that you're not currently using an AGP videocard, I think. Where do you see it?

        Don't worry too much about the refresh rate. On a CRT monitor, the higher the rate, the easier the monitor is on the eyes. If you notice eye strain problems increase it... the default 60Hz is horrible to most people. You'll be more comfortable with 70-85Hz depending upon your personal preference.

          Right click on your desktop -> Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Monitor -> Refresh rate

          Set it to 85Hertz if you have a monitor that is capable of doing so.

          Do not uncheck the checkbox otherwise you'll blow up your monitor if you choose a refresh rate that is not supported.

          if you have an LCD screen you should only use the native refresh rate (And resolution). Most likely 60Hertz.

          If you have no AGP card, it is logical that it has been disabled. But perhaps your motherboard does not support certain features that show up as "disabled" in that program..

          Is it a laptop or do you have a PCI video card?

            Make certain all AGP functions are enabled in the BIOS.
