After a hard drive crash I put in new drive and new OS Win 7. Previous OS was Vista. Everything was ok until the Windows Updates started downloading. I've worked out so far that every time I get a Windows Update the screen starts flickering. I have the latest ATI driver and that doesn't resolve the problem. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Always remember us IT guys and Gals have got to stick together.

Zamroa525 you saved me from switching to linux ... yet again. My windows were flashing and i was wondering why. everytime I went down to the taskbar to open a specific tab in a browser it would close back down to the taskbar (aero), then when I wanted to restart I couldnt becuase the menu would close beforehand. I was very confused. Now after readding Zamora525's post I figured it was my password protected sandisk usb drive that wanted to access autoplay and it didnt. Is there a fix for this though? I would still like to use my USB drive... Thanks a lot! trueport - follow on twitter, trueport WOW! thanks, i never thought of that. Zamroa525 you saved me from switching to linux … yet again.

The flicker was so annnoying that I called the Toshiba customer service and talked to someone and they told me to download Adobe flashplayer. This eliminated the flicker but it returned again so I re-downloaded the flashplayer and it seemed to fix the problem. Not sure what to think, pretty annoying problem with Windows 7. I was ready to return the laptop if the problem could not get corrected. I assumed that the problem was a software issue since the problem only came to light while running Internet Explorer. I'm glad I talked to technical support before returning the laptop. It also seemed that technical support was aware of the problem and was able to pinpoint the issue to correct it.
