But i'm stuck with windows xp for the time being - so if anyone has any ideas.ĪSUS does not supply XP drivers for my monitor - the windows 7/8 drivers(inf files) won't compute.

'Oohh, you have windows xp, PROBABLY COMPATIBILITY ISSUE - Try getting windows 7' 'Ohhh, PROBABLY third party software problem, sorry can't help' or I've tried talking to ASUS, (Hi Katie, you came across very clueless,sorry.) and Blizzard (very friendly, but.) - They didn't want to help me at all. īut for some reason it won't let me select it in Starcraft 2.

There is some safeguard in the monitor 'plug and play driver ' somewhere that refuses to show Starcraft 2 the correct monitor hz?Įven though I get 144hz in windows - once i alt-tab to SC2 it's back to 60hz. So - I'm thinking that windows XP is thinking that: I can't run in 1920x1080 60hz. Though I am fully able to run at all ranges 60-144 in ATI catalyst.īUT it won't cross over on to Starcraft 2 - it' is stuck on 60hz there. In windows xp's normal monitor window where you can change refreshrate - IF i tick 'only show hz that this monitor can support' the only one showing at asus monitor native resolution (1920x1080) is 60hz. Old games like - Quakeworld - does not give me this problem (but it's way easier to customize that game). When I try to play Starcraft 2 - (and i'm guessing other modern games might give me same problem later on) I am unable to select 144hz.

I have a problem with my brand new ASUS LCD VG248QE monitor.
