video games bad quality video

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

When I'm playing games on my pc like Test Drive, the video breaks up a lot
and it doesn't flow like it does on tv. Is there a software out there to
solve this problem?

That's called vertical sync--and you don't have it enabled.

Control Panel, Display Properties, Settings, Advanced, then your video
card. You are looking for vertical sync in DirectX and OpenGL (if you
have it). It will be different on each card (but is in the same place
for nVidia and ATI Catalyst cards).
