When scrolling in a window, the image loads up slower than it should, I believe this is due to the refresh rate of the monitor being lower than it should be. In order to try and fix this problem, I have tried to change the settings of the monitor. However, Windows XP will not let me select settings different from the default. How can I sort this out?
 
Visit the website of the manufacturer of your video card, download and
install the latest Windows XP compatible drivers. If you have an onboard
video chip, then your motherboard manufacturer's website would have these
drivers.

And if you have a notebook or laptop PC, visit their website to download
the Windows XP video adapter drivers.

The refresh rate has no bearing on how fast a window appears. Refresh
rate refers to the number of times a second the screen is redrawn. 60
hz results in visible flicker. I use 85 hz myself, although my monitor
and card will allow for more. 85 provides no visible flicker to my
eyes.
