I am using the Ad module for Drupal 6 (http://drupal.org/project/ad). I am wondering if I can make the ad changes automatically every 60 seconds even if the user doesn't refresh the page.

You could certainly tweak it to work that way, but why? Isn't random better?

I want to keep it random. Now the ad changes only with the page refreshes, I want it to be changed randomly every 60 seconds (every 60 seconds a new add to be displayed)

Ah, that wasn't clear from your question. I've edited it to be more obvious what you'd like to do.

Assuming you're using the JavaScript method of ad insertion, you'll notice that the Ad module adds a script to the page which fetches some code from a file named serve.php in the Ad module directory (so it's bypassing Drupal bootstrapping and such). Use Firebug and check out the Net tab, JS subtab to take a peek at this. Assuming you have the coding chops, you could add a bit of JavaScript to your theme or a custom module which basically removes the current ad and re-calls serve.php just like the Ad module's script does.
