Hey I seem to be having an issue with the sync on my monitor using the vga5000, my monitor has two sync ports and both are connected, I also tried combining both sync into one port with the exact same result. I have used a cheap VGA->CGA converter on this monitor in the past, where I basically just cut the connector off of one end of a JAMMA cable and put RCA plugs on instead and that worked decently well, although the picture was kind of noisy and it had poor resolution support. Right now I have a BNC splitter connected to the VGA port on the vga5000, and I've tried various resolutions after installing the drivers.
Here's a video of what's happening although it's flickering a lot faster than what you can see:

I installed arcadeperfect to try and tweak the refresh rates but I just get this:

The drivers are definitely working, I have the bug with the resolution menu and stuff. The system is 32bit Win7
Thanks for any ideas

Sorry for being persistent but I really don't know where else to go with this.
I still can't get arcadeperfect to work. In the windows display window it says that the monitor is running at 30hz interlaced with no other option available. On the back of the monitor is printed 50hz/60hz. I've looked through every setting the monitor has and I haven't found anything to affect the way the sync works other than turning it on or off. I might try XP on the off chance it convinces the driver and stuff to work better since the motherboard and CPU themselves are somewhat old.
