Enable the following compatibility settings for the `Gift.exe` file: `Windows 98/ME` Don't forget to set `detect.exe` to `Windows 98/ME` too, or else the configurations will stay default.

The most common problem is that the game does not activate Vsync even if you have activated it in Detect.exe

Use DDrawCompat https://github.com/narzoul/DDrawCompat/releases/tag/v0.3.1

or

Force Vsync through DgVoodoo 2 or cap the game to whatever framerate your monitor is.
