You are running somethng in the background that is trying to steal focus from the game.
Most likely culprits are Music Match, if you have every installed that program it leaves a little part of itself running, go to process tab and and look for MM.exe.
If it is there then end it and you should be fine.

If it is not Music Match then other culprits include Virus protection, and some auto updaters.
 
Try it the worst that happens is you have to reboot your system.
 
There should be no flicker, try that I can tell you that I have no MMdiag running in my processes.
 
Check for that one first, it even come preinstalled on some systems.
 
Great ,that must be their new one.
 
Can you please point me to your thread where I told you to rename the AVI folder to stop your screen flashing?
I have known about the Music Match conflict since long before you registered on these forums, so I don't know why I would have told you to rename the AVI folder for a screen flashing problem. I would like to investigate this so I can improve service in the future.
