Strange Solevison question about text speed, FOF2007

[A-Husker-4-Life]

Is there any way to effect the speed of the text without changing the speed option.

Example:

I watch my games on normal but I need to speed up the text alittle bit to keep up with my friends game. When we start them at the same time, my game always lags behind his and he has to pause so I can keep up.

I have a killer rig, 4.2Ghz i5, 32GB or ram, ssd, 2GB ati video card so that's not the problem.

I've tried everything I can think of and nothing speeds up the text. Do you guys have any idea's?

Side note, we were running at the same speed until he updated to windows 8.1, I'm on win7.

Some things I've tried:

- running in windows xp compatibility

- disabling Anti Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering

- Upping the priority in the processes, to real time.

- set affinity to only 1 processor

- reinstalled C++ redistribution

- Updated windows

- Closed steam, anti virus and all unnecessary programs.

I'm at a loss on what to try next, do you guys have any ideas?

do you think Vertical Refresh would help? I have it turned off.
