HL Refresh rate problems

[Pulse]

For some reason my original copy of Half-Life 1 along with all it's mods/addons (Opposing force, team fortress etc.) become really blurred and display what can only be described as "waves" that ripple down my monitor.

I'm confident this is somehthing to do with the refresh rates... this only occurs when I run the games in full screen 1024x768, when windowed I do not get any problems at all...

I have no problems running HL2 and source based games in full windowed mode!

System specs:


ATI Radeon 9800
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3400+
2.40GHZ
1GB RAM


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hrmmmm, theres a command like fps_max, set it to your monitors refresh rate.

The waves are called "tears."
Ben is right, he's also reffering to a process called Vsync.

Yeah I try it, but it seems to do nothing to the refresh rate, dispite restarting the game and changing screen resolutions...

It's boggled me, as HL2 and source mods fine absolutely fine with no problems whatsoever!
