I dont have any experience with arcade vga but what version of windows are you running and are you sure windows is set to 640x480 60Hz?

Shipping something from the U.S. to Canada for repair/exchange?  Please use USPS to avoid (additional?/excessive?) shipping charges.  PM me if you have any questions.

The whole point of arcade vga is that you dont nedd to use soft15khz... not to mention soft15khz dosnt work in win 7 or 8.

Sounds like you set up the Arcade VGA on the wrong port.  You should set it up on the VGA port (Dsub) and not the DVI port.  Once it's working on the VGA port with another monitor at 640 x 480 with the modified ATI drivers at Ultimarc.com it should work once you plug your arcade monitor in.
