refresh rate

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

Hi Jon,

Updating your Graphics and Monitor drivers is good advice.
You might also consider lowering the resolution and refresh
rate using the in-game settings so that they match what you
are using for your Windows desktop. I hope that helps. :-)
