I have Myth 2 installed and patched to 1.5.1.

When I load a game (any), the monitor clicks off and on to adjust to fullscreen as normal, and the game appears.

Myth oddly enough does this exactly 10 times pretty fast, and then displays the menu. I don't know what long term affects this might have on my monitor, so my concern has brought me here.

I have
Windows XP SP2
Radeon 9200 128mb card
Samtron 98BDF monitor

If any other information is needed let me know.

This is a known issue, where Myth checks the resolutions reported by Windows (and whether the monitor actually supports them). The upcoming version 1.5.2 should resolve this by being less paranoid of the resolutions that Windows reports, and just assuming they all work, rather than testing them on startup.
