Yeah - that's not the c= ase with me and from what I've read, others having similar issue are ex= periencing it as I described. =A0That is, when it happens, it's usually= out of the blue and disrupts all applications and goes until it stops.
My last post however, for whatever reason, while it's fl= ickering, if I "right click" on the menu bar (just anywhere, I do= it right in center top), it stops in a couple seconds. =A0Sometimes it dra= gs the window around in doing so but it at least stops.

That's right - a right click seems to interrupt it = and rather quickly. =A0So, my sometimes full minute is only a few seconds n= ow.

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 A= E :-D

=A0

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 eve= rything 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 Char= ms menu and see if that forces a redraw too and stops the flickering.

Hello,

=A0

This is probably suited for Todd but if anyone else = has experienced this, I appreciate the help. =A0I keep getting what I'v= e been referring to as an epileptic fit with AE. =A0That seems the best way= to describe it. =A0Every 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. =A0I've never lost anythi= ng due to this but it goes for like a full minute or more sometimes before = it stops.

=A0

Any thoughts on what could cause this? =A0I purge my= memory probably way more than necessary, thinking that might help but it d= oesn't.

=A0

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

=A0

Any settings or anything that could cause this?

=A0

Thanks,

Eric
