Screen Flickering

[unmerged(33430)]

While running Victoria my screen flickers quite a lot. Gets very annoying after a while. I am not running norton in the background coz I read that it can cause flickering but it is still happening. My specs are Pentium 4, 1 Gig RAM, Direct X 9, all drivers are updated.

90% this is caused by something running in the background.

Okay let's try some standard things.
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.

For you especially #3.

If that does not fix the trouble we will look at your refresh rates.
