Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to adjust the refresh rate on my puter monitor? It
flickers too much for my liking (or my wife's).
And to reduce flicker, would I increase it or decrease it?
I'm using Windows XP, if that helps.

Help appreciated
Thanks.
Darryl.

That's a bit difficult to answer because there are so many variables
depending upon which hardware & video cards you have installed. But
basically, if you right-click on your desktop (how it looks with no programs
running), select Properties, & select Advanced. There's where it will get
tricky to find.

Increase! That way you don't notice it as much. The system may be stubborn
though and not let you change it.
