unable to change monitor refresh rate, at 1024x780 screen flickers

[chris t]

monitor spec say 1280x1024 @ 85hz is ideal, but even when
i change resolution my refresh rate stays @ 56hz. i went
to display properties-settings-advanced tab- monitor tab
shows default monitor. i am unable to click properties.
i am running XP SP2, have dell p991 monitor but system
does not show this as my monitor. before installing sp2
i did not have this problem. can anyone help?

Update your graphics driver. This should enable the monitor to be correctly
identified.

How do you upgrade the graphics driver?

Go to the makers of your video card web site. You can go to control panel>
and then device manager. Click the little + to the left of your video card
in the list. You can see what card you have and also you can click update
driver from their. If the new drivers don't work you can click roll back
drivers to the one you had before. If you need more detail, repost.
