Hook up a regular PC monitor to the pc, go into the adapter tab in advanced settings, click list all modes, and select 640x480, 24-bit, 60 Hz (make sure you choose 60 Hz and not 75 Hz). Then hook the Neiman monitor back up and see how it goes.

+1 Yep - do this. First thing I'd be trying.
BigDaddyE:
Ok.

I have 640 x 480 in either 256 color, 16 bit high color, 32 bit true color or 16 color, all at a default refresh rate.

Any one in particular?
Jack Burton:
That is 100% a monitor running at the wrong refresh rate.  I just saw this not even ten minutes ago when I was working with a Sony PVM monitor.  I had uninstalled soft 15khz and was running at 640x480 at 60hz. 

I don't know why you are having this problem, but that is exactly what a progressive signal looks like when it's sent to a monitor that can only do interlaced. 

I bet you can do this.  I don't know if this works with an AVGA, but I know it works with soft 15khz. 

First, install soft 15khz.
Go into display options, and choose the setting tab, then go to advanced. 
Go to the adapter tab, and select list all modes.  Scroll all the way to the top.  You will have a set of resolutions that seem to be doubles of other resolutions.  These are actually 15khz resolutions.  Select 640x480 at 60hz and restart your computer.  You should be running in 15khz mode.  This is how I run all my monitors in 15khz for windows.
Todd H:
What kind of monitor is this? Is it a CGA or a tri-sync?
BigDaddyE:
cga. wanted to be the most realistic for old games, thinking twice about that now, tri sync would have been a lot easier!

Going to try to install the Arcade drivers, if that doesn't work I will try the other suggestion.

See you in about a half hour.
