A monkey climbed tru my window and accidently set refresh rate to 150 on NVidia 4800TI and now Iiyama Vision Master Pro 512 goes black and turns its self off after 10 seconds. I will test monitor on alternate system but how do I reset the rate on comp ?

haha those damn monkeys...
just boot up in safe mode(press f8 after POST) and reinstall your video card drivers. That should reset the settings so that crazy monkey can check his monitors settings before messing with his refresh rate again.

To change the refresh frequency for your monitor:
1. Open Display in Control Panel.
2. On the Settings tab, click Advanced.
3. On the Monitor tab, in the Refresh Frequency list, click a new refresh rate.Notes
- To open Display, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Display.
- The default refresh frequency setting is 100 Hertz, although your monitor may support a higher setting. Check your manufacturer's documentation for information regarding the settings your monitor supports.
- A higher refresh frequency reduces any flicker on your screen, but choosing a setting that is too high for your monitor can make your display unusable and cause damage to your hardware.
- Changes to the refresh frequency affect all users that log on to the computer.

So that's where my damn trunk monkey wandered off to. If you see him again, will you please tell him to come home.

Sorry
He tried climbing through my window and I shot him (damn those monkeys)When all else fails beat the $%!* out of it!!!

Be careful what you say (damn the monkeys)" The next generation of Windows (coded Longhorn) could emerge to the world as Windows Monkey.

You can also get to your display settings by right clicking on a bare spot on your destop and select properties.
