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 w= ay 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 anythin= g due to this but it goes for like a full minute or more sometimes before i= t stops.

 

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

 

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

 

Any settings or anything that could cause this?=

 

Thanks,

Eric
