There is a new pack coming including NT, but I wonder if that will not fix
your problem as they will be 2.08-based.  The old 1.30 are about the most
stable in the series.  However, drivers cannot account for frame rate
differences like that.  The ONLY things that can cause that are:

- vsync settings
- desktop color depth.

If you run desktop at 24/32bit and he runs 16-bit, that would do it.
