I'm using Xp Pro. We have a second computer here its around 4 or 5 years old, the monitor is 2 years old. I did all kinds of test between these comps! Changed video cards no difference! The game play eveytime except with my system/motherboard and the Hitachi monitor?
Also on reboot the bios says the video card is a Geforce2 64MB, which is right but, in the OS it says its only 32MB?
The OS has this monitor set as a default monitor?
Any help would be great thanks! cougarxr7

You have to stop the refresh rate from going over 60hz .
This will not happen when using default monitor driver.
Install a dedicated driver for the monitor.
Or use the refresh override in nvidia driver to
set all display resolutions to 60hz.
