Internet Explorer 8 screen keeps flickering! Help!

Alright, I know you don't want to use the other browsers, but could you briefly install say.. Firefox or Opera, to see if you have the issue with that browser as well?

This will help with the process of narrowing down the issue.

Also, does it flicker worse, or only on certain websites? For example, does it only do it once you have a window with Flash, or JavaScript, or Silverlight open?

Have you tested to see if any of your add-ons are causing the issue?

I know you said you updated your graphics drivers, but did you do a complete clean install of them?

Also, if neither of the above do anything, try to completely uninstall, then clean reinstall Adobe Flash.

yep, did complete install of the drivers.  I will see if I can do the uninstall of Flash later tonight.  Aside from that, any other ideas?

thanks for the ideas, I'll see what I can do

its either addons or themes, but drop ie ff or opera are much much better.

I never have any problems with opera with broken pages and etc, not sure what is going on on your side, the memory usage is huge deal specially to me, chrome uses with 10 tabs what opera uses with like 50 - 60 tabs.

also can chrome do this:



that is me double clicking a ticket number and then choosing to load it and bring up the page with the specs for that ticket number, all in 3 clicks, can chrome do that?

thats just one feature for here, I have many different feature I use for my browsing, another one is to upload an image directly to imageshak, or pretty much I can do anything with any text or image, I can load them to site and etc like the ticket numbers here, or right clicking and image and uploading to imageshak or any other image site I want, and those are just 2 examples, the imageshak I think there is an addon for firefox but its not the same as what I'm doing with opera, I can add that feature to any part of opera, the addon for ff just adds it to couple of parts, not every part you would want.

in short I can config opera in ways that chrome just can't do, and when you can config to that extent your browsing becomes much faster and more enjoyable, like it is for me here with ticket numbers, nobody is gonna be able to load a ticket number faster then me here, well nobody that does not use opera I should say I guess.
