Vista Tutorial - Visual Effects - Blanking of Screen...

I am using RC1 now and i notice that the screen blanks out out everytime i
click on program or windows functions. Try to imagine inside a dark room
where the light goes off an on. It hurts your eyes! It happens specially when
you click on some functions and the O/S needs to pop-up the User Account
Control window to ask for permission to execute the program. This rest of the
windows are now displayed with shadowed effect but before this, the screens
flickers, blanks out and then redisplays. The effect is ON and OFF and it
hurts the eyes. Can this be remedied short of disabling the nice animations
and the shadowed effect?

Can't say I have the answer, but I have seen the same issue when trying to
play XM (aol radio) perhaps this can be fixed by "trusting" the site, but the
rapid video blinking when the "permission" screen comes up is probably a bug
