Sims 2 Free Time Patch Problem and Off-Whack Screen

It's been months since I played a computer game (if I don't include the hour or so I spent with the Spore Creature Creator Demo that has encouragingly shown that my ThinkPad might be up to handling the full game).  I decided to update my Sims 2 with the latest Free Time patch. This crippled the program's initiator but gladly, this is a known issue and was fairly easily resolved via this procedure --->

I re-encountered the bizarre graphics problem where the game screen is set off-centre. As my Refresh Rate was already at the maximum setting of 75, I had to mess about with the ATI Panel controls. I ticked the box for "Composite Sync". I don't know what it means - but the game picture is now correctly positioned......and there's STILL snow on the ground in Pleasantville.
