Question ID: 784463
i'm trying to change the refresh rate of a TOSHIBA SATELLITE M45-S269
to more than 60Hz.  no other choices are available.  i've included
some screen shots here:

http://allergicto60hertz.blogspot.com/2006/11/how-to-get-video-driver-to-show-another.html

the display is currently "Plug and Play Monitor" at 1280x800 and 32
bit color.  unfortunately, reducing the resolution to 1024x768 does
not cause another refresh choice to be exposed, nor does reducing to
16 bit color.

when i switch to display #2 (Default Monitor) as shown in the image
from the link above, the default is strangely 640x480 with 8 bit color
and if i try to change any of the settings for this display choice and
hit either apply or ok, no changes take effect.  it only seems to
accept display #1.

thanks.

What makes you think your monitor can do better than 60 hz.  Many
laptop displays cannot.

Hi, unfortunitly, you cannot increase the refresh rate on your laptop
screen. But if you were to add a pci videocard, and plug in another
monitor, you wil find that you will be able to modify your refresh
rate.
