Screen Refresh issue ( I assume )

I'm using Virtual PC 2007 on Windows Vista Home Premium edition to run
Windows 98 Second Edition, and am having trouble with the screen refresh.
This is most noticeable when I play Championship Manager, I have to keep
minimizing the virtual PC window to get it to change the display when the
game has moved on. The problem doesn't just happen on games it also occurs
when any screen is displayed that contains any amount of graphic rather then
a plain page.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help that worked.

But now I have found that even though have the CM disk in the game will not
recognize that there is a cd in the drive. I do not understand it installed
from this CD why will it not play from it?

It's possible that there is some sort of CD copy protection getting in
the way.  Try running Virtual PC 'as administrator'.
