How do I fix the video card/monitor display from blinking or flashing and causing programs to disappear?
I haven't had this problem till after I just reinstall windows xp pro about a month ago. Anyways, I notice this problem after running 3DS MAX 8 and when I rendered a frame the program would blink or jitter and the render window would disappear behind the actual program. Also when I clicked on the navigation bar drop down list the screen would do the same thing and the list would disappear until I rescrolled over it again and the list would somewhat reappear. Other programs like audacity would blink and flash reapeadetly while i was using it. This is the only really big probelms I have had and I have instaled the latest display drivers. Oh yeah I have an ati all in wonder 9800 pro and it is displaying at 60hz 1280 X 1024 and I am using NEC LCD1850X. I have the latest direct x 9c so I cant figure out what is the problem.
make sure you have all of your windows updates and make sure autoupdate is active for windows. you probably have outdated drivers since you did the reinstall. go to the website for the company who makes your video card and your monitor(i would suggest also doing the same for the rest of your hardware) and search for updates.
update ur drivers from the manafacturer or reinstall the piece and reboot ur comp or bios?
I would first suggest checking to see if there is a list of approved hardware and see if your video card and monitor are on it (even if it worked before, incompatibility still might be the cause). If they are, try adjusting the refresh rate on the monitor. Check the video card and monitor specs to find one that’s compatible between the two. Also, you can try rolling back the driver because the latest one might have bugs in it.
