Blinking screen? (Flash every minute or so)

[Snall]

It's been a while since I played a HOI. Have HOI2 DD and Armaged patched to the latest. The screen seems to refresh (visibly) every minute or so and it's really annoying. Anyway to fix this? (Think I had someone help me when Victoria was doing this but I can't remember what it was)

Screen Flicker

If you are experiencing screen flicker at seemingly random intervals while playing the came, the following steps may be of use, as prescribed by Castellon:

1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) If you're using the auto-hide feature of the task bar, disable it.
4) If you have an Explorer window searching for a file or displaying search results, close it.
5) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
6) Update your Windows, update your Video card drivers and audio card drivers. Then repeat steps 1-3.

98% of flicker problems are caused by other programs running in the background.

Also, alt+tabbing tends to increase screen flicker.

I hop that this will help you

Thanks! I think it was the 16bit thing, not used to going that low these days.
