I would think that the game play frame speed distributed by the software was originally encoded for a PC refresh rate based on the coutry of origin. US is based on 60 Hz, so I'm not sure how the Euro version would be compatible?
Most CRT monitors and video cards for PCs are "multiscan" meaning that they can vary refresh rates to eliminate flicker in the display. LCD displays are single frequency.
