Dell Monitor bad?
This is a discussion about Dell Monitor bad? in the Windows Hardware category; I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop. I had to reinstall Windows XP on it and when I went to adjust the refresh rate it tells me I have multiple monitors. And none of those are able to be set at higher than 60hertz.
I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop. I had to reinstall Windows XP on it and when I went to adjust the refresh rate it tells me I have multiple monitors. And none of those are able to be set at higher than 60hertz. My eyes are strained to death with that setting. What could cause the monitors not to be able to go higher. I checked on Dell's website and it states it can go up to 75. What's the deal? Is my monitor bad?

Look for the newest drivers on the Dell site first, and if they don't work try the manufacturer of the video chipset for you laptop.
OP
I tried to use the drivers for the monitor off Dell's website. But I have no idea which one of the "Default Monitors" my monitor is on the laptop. So I went ahead and put it on all of them and restarted. After I am back up I still can only set it at 60hertz. This was working fine before I reformatted so I don't see what I could of done wrong. The Video card is the GeForce2 Go.
