Windows Explorer window flickers

[tshad]

There is someone at work using a Windows XP that is having a problem with
their machine.

The list in the left pane is constantly refreshing and is constantly
flickering when it does it. The mouse pointer is constantly going to an
hourglass when it does it.

This is driving her crazy.

Why is it doing it and is there a way to stop it?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom you can get to the refresh rate setting as follows:

Right-click on an empty part of the desktop.
Select "Properties"
Click on the Settings tab.
Click the Advanced button.
Click the Monitor tab.
Check the current Screen Refresh Rate and adjust if necessary.
If you have a flat-screen LCD monitor rather than a traditional CRT
display, there's no need to adjust the setting as these displays don't
suffer from flicker.
