Are you setting the refresh rate for certain screen
resolutions only i.e desktop is 1024x768 @ 60hz game is
800x600 @75hz
go into your properties for gfx card and set it to the
max the monitor will allow for your desktop resolution,
having a monitor set too 60hz is ok if u have a tft but
on a normal crt monitor its like staring at a naked light
bulb
