It is a problem on regular 15 Khz only arcade monitors using interlaced resolutions like 640x480. Take a look at this thread: forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=104323.0

I have a tri-sync Makvision 15-25-31khz so I assume Win 7 should present no issues when run at 31khz on desktop.  When I ran GroovyMAME on a regular computer monitor to check it out, I got an error message.  However, that error is probably due to running it on a regular computer monitor.  I am hooking the tri-sync up after work and running it to see what happens.

Calamity:
That error message is innocuous, it's only that GM can't access the usual registry key it would find in Win XP, so it just complains. Now, that happens because you're probably double-clicking on the executable. You're not supposed to lauch GM that way, you either launch it from command-line or from a properly configured frontend.

I would definitely use Windows XP 64-bit instead of Windows 7 for serious CRT stuff. That said, try to get things working in Win 7, and please report back if you succeed.

You were correct.  I appreciate your help.  I wasn't running it from the command prompt.
