Vista bug? Full screen keep on flashing

[Yinghe Chen]

Windows Photo gallery, navigate to my own photo album, choose one picture,
then put to full screen.

Vista is keep on flashing, quite annoying.

Is this a bug?

Mine is NVidia 6800, Microsoft driver.

Hi

Try using the latest Nvidia driver from the web site, not the Microsoft one:

Hi

I'm using version 96.85 on various Vista Ultimate/Premium PCs with GeForce
FX 5200s and GeForce 7600s without any problems.

Updated the nvidia driver, still occuring. I believe this is a vista bug,
suppose there is one user folder, which contains a lot of pictures, select
one picture, then switch to full screen.

The screen begins to flashing, if the folder contains only a few photoes,
this is not reproducible.

I am thinking whether vista is trying to cache the photoes.

Thanks,

I have the flashing problem with another process. Try this. When the
problem is occurring, launch task manager, on applications, right click on
the item that is flashing, select to go to process, on the process right
click and on set priority and change to above normal or high and accept the
change. See if that stops the flashing. Let us know, ok.

I saw that problem in RC2. I don't have any folders with a lot of images in
RTM yet so I can't compare, but I definitely had the same problem in RC2.
