You really need to adjust your monitor to what your computer is putting out like I suggested way back at the beginning at not try to adjust your computer to what your monitor was adjusted for.

The Mortal Kombat games don't play nice with other games on Jamma switchers.

What he said^ And the MK thing is true , except some other Midway games (like the ones I listed in my other reply)

paigeoliver:
If you REALLY NEED to do this then you need a remote board for your monitor mounted in the front of your cabinet so you can readjust the monitor when you flip between 53 hz Mortal Kombat and 60 hz everything else.

If this were me doing it I could do some mods to the monitor chassis so you could flip a switch and go between being adjusted for 60 hz and being adjusted for 53 hz but that is pretty advanced and not at all the sort of thing anyone is going to be able to talk you through on a message board.

I was hoping to use ArcadePerfect to tweak the PC's refresh rate to match MK's perfectly, but there seems to be Windows 7-related issues and it keeps crashing.  I could always switch to XP, but before I do, I'd like to make sure there isn't an easy way to do this.

How would you suggest setting my PC's resolution and refresh rate to match MK's perfectly?

The screen is not having any tearing effects in groovy mame. You got to be a pro player and even they would have problems finding a difference to the pcb on my cab.

You gotta find the sweet spot for h and v freq with gm.  After that you just need to adjust the vertical size for games as this can't be done via software. I have the pot for it on the side of my custom cp for easy and quick adjustments.

Thanks.  I'll start with GroovyMame and go from there.
