I've seen some messages about the screen flashing black for a few moments when executing a program in vb.net

this may be because the command prompt settings were changed.
when the command prompt is set to full screen mode instead of window mode, some monitors don't seem to be able to take it.

when this happened to my computer, the screen would go black (for however long the command prompt window had to appear) and the monitor (new, 17" flat panel, not a junky old thing) would give an error message, but this prob doesn't happen to everyone. The only way i could fix it was by pressing ctrl-alt-del and right clicking on the window, clicking properties, and then selecting Window mode (Full Screen was selected).

There should be a way to change the setting to Window globally but I don't know how to do it (I've been doing it for each command prompt window).

hope this helps anyone who gets this problem.
 
FYI: Alt-Enter will take a DOS window out of fullscreen.
