The 75 hz is out of range message is that your video card settings are out of range of your monitor. Right click on an open area in the desktop and choose "properties", then the settings tab, then the advanced settings button, then the monitor tab. You can reset the scan rate (75hz) to 72 or 60, or just click on the box that says hide unavailable settings.

Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] Change Hard Drive
Hi all,
Thanks tor all for the help.
I have swapped out the old 40 gig drive for a new Western Digital 160
gig hard drive,
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=33, and all is well.
Before doing the swapping, I installed, the Intel application
accelerator which you can get at
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=663,
updated the bios to the latest version, availabe here
*http://tinyurl.com/767bf,* and I already had WinXP SR2 running on the
system. As a result I had no problems with the 137 gb limit.
I then made a Ghost image of the old drive. I turned everything off,
removed the old drive and installed the new drive. I turned on the
computer and used Western Digital's software, available here,
http://support.wdc.com/download/index.asp?cxml=n, to format and
partition the new drive. Then, I booted to the Ghost image I had made
and installed it (16 CDs). All went well after the restore was complete
except I got an indication that WinXP could not find my Umax 3400
scanner. I reinstalled my scanner software and removed and reinserted
the USB plug for it and it came up just fine and is now working perfectly.
Only one problem: I am now getting an error message which comes just
as WinXP comes on, that says something about "75 Hz is out of range"
or something like that...I can't really tell because it goes by so
fast. I have not noticed anything amiss, however. Does anyone have any
ideas what that might be? I would appreciate any help.
BTW, I got a new ADS Technologies USB 2.0 drive enclosure, installed the
40 gig drive I removed from the computer into it, and pluged it into a
spare USB 2.0 port. It is working perfectly at this time.
Thanks to all for all the help. If anyone has any ideas on the error
message referenced above, I would appreciate any help.
