[Top Spin 2] No run at 50 Hz

[Right]

This is weird problem I'm facing with Top Spin 2. When I launch the game it says that game cannot run at PAL 50 and I need to change it to 60Hz from Console Settings > Display. But there's no option there to change the display frequency, only display res and widescreen.

Any suggestions for this?

Oh yeah I had the same problem. There was a cure on MS official site. Let me see if I can get you the link.
