Monitor Acceleration

My monitor has had issues for quite some time now. The only way I can keep
it from EXTREME flickering is to set it to a low resolution, lower the
refresh rate (I know it's supposed to be the opposite, but this is what I
have to do), and turn off the monitor acceleration.

On Vista, the troubleshoot page says that my driver won't allow changing
acceleration settings. Huh? It's the same driver I've been using for 5
years now!! I've always been able to turn off the acceleration on XP.

Any suggestions on how to bypass this?

p.s. When I installed this new computer, I noticed that a "pin" on the
monitor cable was broken off. Could this possibly be causing this issue? A
long shot, I know, but a lot cheaper than buying a new monitor.
 
Possibly?

Yes, I would think that a new monitor cable is a lot cheaper than a new
monitor, and would most likely solve your problem.
 
Same driver for five years? How about uninstalling that dead elephant driver
and install a Vista class driver.
