You could try changing the hertz rate on your monitor to 75.

Right click on desktop
Properties
Settings
Advanced
Monitor
75 hertz

COuld also be problems with some settings in your WMP just fiddle with them abit and could get what you need. I use winamp personally..

Do you have the latest version of DirectX? I think maybe that may fix the problem, you can also test your gcard to see if it's working correctly by typing this string in run after you have installed DX.

start/run/dxdiag
