Hi ScaryMovy and welcome to Club Vaio.

Most people leave the battery in at all times - even when using the mains adapter. Your Vaio has advanced charging circuitry which prevents overcharging and damage to the battery. I would only remove my battery if I wasn't going to use the Vaio for a long period of many weeks as you are more likely to damage the battery and its connections by frequently taking it out and putting it back in.

If you go to Display Properties in Control Panel -> Settings -> Advanced -> Monitor, you will see the screen frequencies available to you in the drop-down box.

Thanks for the reply.

About the monitor, I had been in this window and I can only choose 60Hz. That's the problem. I can't select 75Hz for example.
I have tried to download the last driver of my video card (www.nvidia.com) and the driver I have installed now is more recent than the driver in the web. Wherefore I haven't changed anything.
