Problems with my monitor's frequency
If I'm already logged in, and I switch users, whenver I go back to my profile, it says the Frequency is Out of Range on my monitor. (os=Vista)

Suggestions?

It probably means the refresh rate is too fast for the monitor. Check to see if the refresh rate is 60Hz, thats the standard for most monitors.

It's at 60 hz.
It only does this when I go to the Switch User screen and come back.

You need to provide more info.
What type of monitor ie CRT, LCD, etc?
If lcd, it is running at native res or have you set something else?
What video card is installed?
Have you installed your video card driver or is it using a native MS driver?

Go to the LCD manufacturer's website and download the newest driver they have for your model.

I would download an ati driver for your card rather than a MS native driver. You can download this from ati/amd's site.
