Well I didn't list the specs because I am lazy.

Its an amd athlon 1600+ xp, 256 mb ram (yea I need more), I bought it to replace a dying dinosaur pc I had before so I just got all the on board stuff to get me by so there no special cards or anything in it.

One of my friends seems to think it might have something to do with sync and my 1997 monitor.... Which could make sense. the machine I was running it on before is an AMD athlon 1600+ xp 512 mb ram, gforce 2 video and a 17 inch flatscreen.
