Problem w/refresh rate. HP Pavilion dv2500

[j.keaton25]

I have a windows vista operating system and a generic pnp monitor on NVIDIA GeForce 7150M/630M. I am wanting to change my refresh rate. It is set on 60 and I can't find a way to change it to maybe a 75 or higher. My eyes always start to hurt about 5 minutes after I have been on the computer. I have tried to update the drivers, but it says that they are all up to date. Can the refresh rate be changed?

You may need to change your screen resolution before changing the refresh rate because not every screen resolution will support all of the same refresh rates. The available rate and resolution options are based on the video adapter and it's driver, and of course your monitor.

If it is a LCD monitor then leave it at 60.  The refresh rates were an issue with older CRT technology, but they don't affect the redraw rate on LCD.
