it seems to have fixed your problem.   The reason you are stuck at 74fps now
is because of vsync.  You will need to disable vsync in the video drivers
and also in the game options. (sometimes you have to enable it in the game
options to disable it, very strange)

 I don't know why you have to do 256 color though.  All I have to do is just
select win98 compatibility mode.
