No, I have a classical CRT monitor Imagequest Q790. I dont know what to do I think that is caused by those sucking winXP and their problem with refresh rates. I dont even know whether Im right, but if I am than I havent a slightest clue how to fix it.

I give you a specific description:
If I run the game by VDMS, I can start the map and play in 640x480 !60Hz! which is suicide. In !60 Hz! in spite of the fact my monitor can run it under 150 Hz , that i have overriden in the windows settings, which is alarming.

One more thing:
I gave it a try under DOSBox 0.63, and result was very strange. I can play the game in 800x600 85Hz which I cannot under VDMS, but its rather frustrating to play it at this speed. i would like to fix the problem and play it under VDMS in 800x600 or 1024x768.

Conclusion:
VDMS
640x480 possible
800x600 impossible due to the monitor failure "out of range"
1024x768 impossible - nothing happens(black screen)

DOSBox 0.36
640x480 possible (slow)
800x600 possible (ssslllooowwweeerrrr) frustrating
1024x768 impossible - nothing happens (same thing as under the VDMS)

Thank U in advance, I have done my best regarding the specification of the problem.

My computer spec.:

OS: winXP sp1
Proc.: Athlon XP 2600+
RAM: 512 MB 400 Mhz corsair
Graphic card: Leadtek nVidia GeForce TI4200 64 mb 8xAGP
and latest video drivers and directX9.0b
