WinXP and Refresh rate problems

[BarnyardMonkey]

I recenlty installed WinXP Home on one of my systems to check it out a bit.
but having a problem with the refresh rates. (or could be something else)

startup,and desktop is aligned fine,but when i start up the game Counter-Strike,the screen shifts to the left quite a bit.
only shifts when the game starts to load up,and playing the game.
the menu of the game is fine.
and also,the game will only start in D3D.won't run in OpenGL.(use to run fine with Win98SE in OpenGL)

Thought maybe it could be due to the refresh rates since i heard something about WinXP had some refresh rate issues.


Specs:

Voodoo3 3000 PCI - Tried WinXP Default drivers,and also some 3rd party XP drivers from VoodooFiles.com

17" KDS Visual Sensations Monitor - tried both 72 and 75 refresh rates

Cel 500
256Mb Ram
20G IDE HD
Slot1 BX Board
50x Cdrom
WinXP Home


If anyone can help me out i'd appreciate it.
gets frustrating switching screen size back and fourth.

Use powerstrip to fix the refresh rate in your games or just use your monitor controls to re align the image. It shouldn't mess up the alignment of your desktop resolution.

yah, second the vote to recenter things when in the game, doesn't affect the desktop at all.

good luck.
