When I was having the original problem, I did not realize that the folder which conained my input file also contained a style file. Modifying that file did fix my problem.
The log file is currently showing display times of between 12 and 14ms. The refresh rate test function in DirectRT gives me a refresh time of 11.77ms at a resolution 800X600 and a refresh rate of 85 hertz (these are my display settings in windows as well).
