Windows XP has a dire problem with setting all program's refresh rate to 60. Perhaps this is the problem.
If it is, this program can release you from the pain and suffering.

use with caution though, because if you set your refresh rate more than your monitor can handle, you will have to reboot with safe mode and turn it back. I recommend you use the "auto-populate" button.
