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. -----Original Message----- From: Loy Pressley <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Wed, 28 Sep 2005 17:10:58 -0500 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. __________________________________________________________________ Look What The New Netscape.com Can Do!
