    Just got a 1520 with 8600m gt, the refresh rate is set to 61hz as the only option. I can't play BF2, it starts to run then closes before the menu comes up. I think it is choking on a refresh rate other that 60hz. Any way to change it??

    see if this helps you any first. BF2142 tweakguide

    I'm shure they tell you how to set the launch properties to change refresh rates at start..

    btw, without that guide, I wouldn't have know how to run the game in custom rez's like 2880x900 :D

    Found out that I had to edit the video.con file for BF2 and change the refresh rate in there to 61hz. Working great now.
