| | Flashing windows, please help! I am running Vista Home Premium as OEM install. All of a sudden window frames have started flashing! No matter what program I'm running the window that surrounds it won't stop flashing. The taskbar is also flashing and I cannot select any programs from the Start Menu. If I try to run a program from the Start menu, I can get to Programs and see them listed, but when I click on any program the Start menu closes and nothing happens! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

| | Re: Flashing windows, please help! Hi Andre, I installed Office 2007 but that was a week ago and everything was working fine until today that the flashing started. No, I have not updated the video drivers. Didn't thought I would need to if I had not made any changes to the OS. The computer is a laptop without anything connected to it. Any thoughts?
