It's fourth day of searching the answer 🙂 And I think there is no option to do that without connecting external monitor. I tried many other options like registry keys changes, installed VirtualBox with Win Xp and tried to run the game, installed older graphic card drivers, installed PowerStrip and tried to overclock screen (never do that ! I almost destroyed screen) .etc. I think that game is asking Catalyst drivers about refresh rate and there's no chance to change that.
Is there any possibility that You, Dear EA, will release some patch for that? It's just DeadSpace2.exe and DeadSpace.exe files fault, I checked it. Firstly game is accesing activationx86.dll file and then (I assume) it "connects" with driver info files to achieve the refreshment rate and if it's lower than Dead Space 1 & 2 primary (60hz), game is not allowed to start. I'll be really grateful for answer.
Community ManagerCan you generate a Dxdiag report and upload it to hastebin and then post the link to that here please? This will give us all the info we may need like driver versions and your exact hardware specifications.

Yes off course. I don't know how I could forget about that. Here's the link for full DX Diag: http://pastebin.com/bZ9XetyW. Also pls check Your inbox, I'll be grateful for answer.
EDIT: Dont know why but I can't enter the link directly. Please just copy the link and paste into the browser, then everything is ok.
Community ManagerCan you do the same but on hastebin please? TY.
I thought You meant pastebin, never heard of hastebin 🙂 Sorry for my mistake and here You go: http://hastebin.com/gujanikika.tex
@EA_Barry: have You found something weird or helpfull in my DxDiag?
Community ManagerYes, I have actually. Your 5870 GPU is fine for this game.
Having said that, there may be an issue with your Operating System. Can I ask that you goto the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate
Then click on the Validate link at the top. Make sure that you visit the site while in Internet Explorer, otherwise it will ask you do download a small program onto your computer in order to validate.
Ok but I will able to do that in two days because I have no laptop with me at the moment. When I'll do that I'll post a results.
Honestly I doubt that it could be validate problem becaue I have original Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and I'm sure it's already validated. But I'll do that once again.
Finally at home. I did exactly what You asked me for but with no result. Once again I "activated" my Windows OS, this time via IE. Additionally I reinstalled game but got the same error: "You graphic card.....".
Please tell me how OS activating could help with that? Did You have some similar situations where this was helpful?
Still no answer?
