Hello All.

Any windows that are open do not blink out only the Background, Icons, & Taskbar. It happens after about 3-4 seconds. This is a fresh install of WinXP Pro that was slipstreamed with SP2, RyanVMs updates, dx 9.0c, & raid drivers.

Has anyone seen this happen before? What is the cause/fix? I'd really rather not have to do a full re-install again as I'm almost done setting things up. :ph34r:

I had a program running called 'Iconoid'. It is used to keep track of where icons are on the desktop so that you can easily put them back where you want them in the event of a resolution change. It was causeing the problem. As soon as I shut it down the problem went away. Started it back up and once again had the problem. I've un-installed it as it doesn't work with Shell Object 'icons' anyway.

Resolved! :thumbup
