I also have it happen a lot. Only using AE, no other programs. 

I always thought it had something to do with my harddrives having to get revved up. For example, if I step away from my computer for  10-15 mins, then come back and instantly try to do something, it takes a moment for the harddrives to get spinning again or something. That is usually when AE has it's fit. I make it stop by clicking the AE logo on the taskbar a few times.

And now we are all glad, it's not just us.  Mine also continues and my driver is up to date as well.  Oddly it has occurred just yet but the symptoms are exactly as Greg describes.  No clicking outside does anything.  In fact, nothing else is available either during the time it does this.

I've only noticed it when I'm using Ray-traced 3D, or sharing resources between AE and Premiere, but I've definitely seen this too.

I thought I was the only one experiencing that...

Good to know it's a common issue, what graphics card are you running?

Cheers.

I see this on all our windows 7 workstations once in a while, and i think like Todd it is some graphics card/driver related. It seems like it fights over screendrawing, and i have only seen it with AE, but im not blaming AE to be the problem, it just happens i spend ~90% of my time in AE so it usually is seen with AE :-D

I can fix it by quickly pressing the Windows key to bring up the start menu, that seems to force a redraw of the screen and everything is back to normal.
Now that you are on Win8 the win key of course works a bit differently. Maybe try to press Win+C to bring up the clock and Charms menu and see if that forces a redraw too and stops the flickering.

Hello,

This is probably suited for Todd but if anyone else has experienced this, I appreciate the help.  I keep getting what I've been referring to as an epileptic fit with AE.  That seems the best way to describe it.  Every once in a while (too often) it just starts this spasming and flickering where I see all of the other windows showing through as it flickers.  I've never lost anything due to this but it goes for like a full minute or more sometimes before it stops.

Any thoughts on what could cause this?  I purge my memory probably way more than necessary, thinking that might help but it doesn't.

I'm running windows 8 and it's done it quite a bit and more so since the recent update to 8.1.

Any settings or anything that could cause this?

Thanks,
Eric
