How do you change the computer blink rate?

From the Help file on my computer: To change the refresh frequency for your monitor # Open Display in Control Panel. # On the Settings tab, click Advanced. # On the Monitor tab, in the Refresh Frequency list, click a new refresh rate. Notes * To open Display, click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display. * The default refresh frequency setting is 100 Hertz, although your monitor may support a higher setting. Check your manufacturer's documentation for information regarding the settings your monitor supports. * A higher refresh frequency reduces any flicker on your screen, but choosing a setting that is too high for your monitor can make your display unusable and cause damage to your hardware. * Changes to the refresh frequency affect all users that log on to the computer.
