Maybe some of you here that may not visit the Gaming forum may be able to help me with this PROBLEM (http://www.swforums.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28402) I'm having.

Potential monitor problem. Try a drop or a raise of the refresh rates.

Tried both, but to no avail.

I keep thinking it has something to do with the resolution of some of the games and the fact my XP machine won't go lower than 800x600 (no joke).

What I might do as an experiment is uninstall the current drivers and reinstal those that came with the vid card (before I updated them) and see what happens.

You may want to optimize your game at 1024x768? With a Ge4, at least mine, it actually runs that res easier than resolutions lower than that.

You mentioned that it happens at AvP2's menu, which I know is fairly low res. Sounds like you're definitely having a problem with lower resolutions. I had something similar happen - fixed it by uninstalling my drivers completely (search for "Detonator Destroyer" for nVidia drivers) and then re-installing them.
the fact my XP machine won't go lower than 800x600 (no joke).Does this include games? Because the lowest desktop resolution WinXP normally allows is 800x600.

I always run my games at 1024x786. So it can't be that, cause it still does the wobbly-thing.

As far as I know, it doesn't include games. That's just for the resoultion for Windows.

And I'll try what you suggested, Nup. At this point, trying everything that's available is my best bet.
