What's all the shouting about? Something wrong with you guys' CAPS LOCK button?
BTW: Chances are, he's in a PAL territory & has downloaded an NTSC version, so it could be either way; Trying to play a game from a region NOT your own on a TV that doesn't support the other region's signal pattern.
If you post back (after turning CAPS off) with the country you're in, then you'll be given a proper, full solution to your problem.

My CAPS LOCK key is working fine :) In fact, I just used a Lowercase to Uppercase option in my text editor. I felt compelled to provide him with a response that matched the formatting of his question.

Listen to this man. If you did a little searching, you would discover why your game is not working properly and find some possible solutions to your problem. For future reference before asking a question, try to do the following first: 1) Try to find an answer by searching the archives of the forum you plan to post to--chances are someone has asked the same question before (don't forget to check out the stick threads also) OR 2) Try to find an answer by searching the Web via Google
When you ask your question, display the fact that you have done these things first; this will help establish that you're not being a lazy sponge and wasting people's time. Better yet, display what you have learned from doing these things. We like answering questions for people who have demonstrated they can learn from the answers.
Prepare your question. Think it through. Hasty-sounding questions get hasty answers, or none at all. The more you do to demonstrate that having put thought and effort into solving your problem before seeking help, the more likely you are to actually get help.

To provide you with a more comprehensive explanation: If you get games from a different region, chances are you won't be able to play it, straight from the box. This incompatibility is the result of the different countries adopting different TV broadcast systems. There are two main types of format for consoles and games. These are PAL and NTSC format. PAL format refers to consoles and games compatible in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and parts of Europe. NTSC format refers to consoles and games compatible in the Japan, USA, Canada, and other countries in North America. NTSC runs on 525 lines/frame and with a refresh rate of 60Hz, while PAL runs on 625 lines/frame (larger screen height) at 50Hz.
Modern TVs from anywhere should be able to resolve either 50Hz or 60Hz. Yet, for protectionist reasons, US manufacturers generally put 60Hz restrictions into their TVs making it very difficult to view anything to do with PAL thus the picture rolls because of the scan rate difference. By contrast, TVs made in Europe (except the real budget models) are able to resolve both 50Hz and 60Hz and so rolling of the picture does not occur if it sees an NTSC TV signal.
Unless the TV is multi-system, (most modern off-the-shelf European TVs are), a NTSC TV will not display a PAL signal in color and your PAL TV will not display an NTSC signal in color. You can try patching the .ISO file with JAYTEEMASTER's NTSC to PAL or PAL to NTSC converter (which you can get from http://www.geocities.com/jayteemaster2003. OR use ADR Patcher. Alternatively you can purchase a converter box/signal converter which you can buy from a site like ChipZone.
Swap Magic does support a forced video mode. Even if you force the game to whatever region your TV/PS2 is, it may still be off center or in black and white.
If you have Swap Magic you can try the following:
1 - Put swap magic in the drive and load it up.
2 - When prompted, use your disc swapping method to change Swap Magic for your backup game
3 - Using the Swap Magic menu on-screen, change the program loading option from 'NORMAL' to either 'PAL' or 'NTSC' depending on which you would like to boot your program as.
4 - Hit OK when you have selected the correct option.
5 - The game will load as normal but will boot your CD/DVD images in the required mode.
