And I don't have any funky video filters on and I've tried it on all the different resolutions.

I had this problem before, but I remember fixing it my changing something in the dxdiag window box thing. However I have already tried to manually overide the Hz setting on my display and 60, with no luck, and also have turned on and off the direct draw/3d options.

Help!!!!

Thanks!!

Overriding the refresh rate is very counterproductive. Do the opposite instead.

Do you have VSync / Triple Buffering activated? High-priority mode?
Are there other programs running? (Keep the task manager open to watch the CPU load.)

Does the same happen with other games / emulators / previous ZSNES versions?

I've got no special modes running, no other programs running and happens with other games / emulators / previous ZSNES versions.

Last time I remember fixing it by changing something on dxdiag, but not sure what

The only other thing I can think of is closing other background apps and/or toggling "Increase Emu Priority" in the Options.

I have the Inspiron 5150

Mine was doing the same thing after I got the last driver made for it.

Use a older video card driver.

nVidia GeForce FX Go5200 driver from Dell
