So I've noticed for a while now that when I play video (either DVDs with PowerDVD or mpeg/avi/wmv movies in WMP9) on my LCD monitor that the video is all wavy/distorted. The past few days I've tried to troubleshoot this without much success, but I have found a couple of threads with my googling where it seems other people have had this problem. Here is one example:

That seems to be almost an identical situation as I am in. I have a 6600 GT connected to a Viewsonic VX922 via DVI, and I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling all of my codecs and PowerDVD. If I turn my refresh rate down to 60 Hz instead of 75 Hz, it plays fine. If I leave it at 75 Hz and disable DirectDraw (via dxdiag) it plays fine. But at 75 Hz with DirectDraw enabled, it's garbled.
Anyone have any idea what the problem is, and how I could correct it so it plays fine at 75 Hz?
