Flickering in 2008

I haven't tried 2008 yet, but I can tell you I won't be upgrading for a while. I still regret my upgrade to 2007 - despite countless re- installs and recovery from back ups, my data has never been the same. I have duplicated transactions in investment accounts, lost synchronization on download accounts, lost payee lists, etc. Each upgrade from Intuit seems buggier than the last. At this point, the amount of effort it will take me to get all the incorrect transactions reconciled has become prohibitive, which means I can no longer use Quicken as a reliable indicator of the state of my accounts. 2006 was reasonably solid, but it's been downhill since then.

since 2006, which "was reasonably solid", there was just 2007 version available so far. How does that qualify for "it's been downhill since then" [since 2006]?

No flickering that I can see -- but I didn't notice it in the 2007 version either. Must be your system?

There was an issue where the WinXP printer settings cause flicker to the screen. IIRC, if the printer was set to direct print ISO spool print, the screen could flicker. Also seem to recall something about attached USB devices, but my memory is hazy.

Are you using a mouse with MS Intellipoint software?

Nope. That's the easy fix, but I don't run it. I've been told to turn off hardware accelration, print spooling, change video drivers, etc. I think perhaps Intuit needs to take the problem a bit more seriously and stop blaming other mainstream software (like XP or video drivers) for their poor programming choices. 2006 didn't flicker,

2007 does, horribly so.

I fixed this problem in 2007 version by updating my mouse driver.

I didn't use 2007, so I'm not aware of the problem you're describing. I've been using 2008 for a couple of days, and I haven't noticed any flickering.

I have this problem also, I checked my mouse driver (Microsoft Intel mouse) and compared it to the latest driver on Microsoft's site and I have the latest driver. Any other suggestions?

Thanks Charliec

I purchased '08p hoping to fix the screen flicker (I don't use intellipoint mouse) & the micro-print problem -- neither was fixed. A problem with miscellaneous/categorized investment income seems to have been fixed. As I purchased & installed late yesterday, I have not had sufficient time to discover other fixes &/or issues.
