How to stop tearing in Windows?

My monitor is a 1680x1050 screen running at 60hz. I don't know what the fps is like in windows but it's definitely not in sync with the refresh rate because I can clearly see tearing going on.

I think it's more to do with the fact Vista desktop is in hardware acceleration mode, and XP isn't. And not a vsync issue.
 
One of the special UI improvements of Vista specifically targets this issue. Best you can do in XP is turn the refresh rate up if your monitor supports it...
