You need to take a class in reading for comprehension.

And, as we learned before, you also need a class in the use of the English language. I do not lie, and there are no lies involved in the non-issue you are babbling about here: either you do not know what a lie is, or you are intentionally misusing the word.

I "filtered you out" back when I said I would; none of your posts showed up in any newsgroup server I was using at the time.

But my subsequent adding of new newsgroup servers caused your posts to become visible in the newer news servers. And since I do not commit my newsgroup message rules to memory, and since I did not remember your moniker, it was not apparent that your posts had once been eliminated but were now reappearing.

You are so desperate to try to find something that will make you appear like anything other than the jerk that you are, that you are now trying to pretend that folks in this group should listen to you tell me who I should respond to, and how I should control who I should respond to.

You poor pathetic moron.

Please continue to post your ignorant comments: they confirm what I have said time and again.

I mean it: please continue to confirm your ignorance.

I JUST ran into the flickering problem this past weekend and was searching for answers when I ran across this thread. Outside of the flames going on, here's what's going on with my problem.

I was running Quicken 2007 Deluxe on an 6800XT card w/ zero flickering issues (XP SP2). Upgraded to an 8400GS card, along w/ dowloading the latest drivers. BAM! Flickering like a strobe light. :( Will try rolling back the drivers tonight. If all else fails, am going to go back to the 6800XT...

Interesting that you did not have flicker with a 6800XT card.

One thing I did go back to a earlier driver dated 8/27/2007 6.14.11.6230 that still has flicker but is usable.

None of the other corrections that were forthcoming from this group helped.

Regards

Don

I have been running a straight PS2 mouse driver on my Q08H&B since I had the flicker problem. Tonight I went to MS downloads and got IntelliPoint ver

5.2 and installed that...so far the flicker has not returned. I am using a Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0

Went back to a Nov. 2007 (?) driver and the flicker is non-existent. Can get the actual version number tonight and re-post.

Never heard of Quicken customer support. As I recall you could report bugs but it came with the caveat that they may not be addressed or may appear in a future edition. I just upgrade to 2008 because my 2005 version of premiere would not accept my web connect files. What a bunch of bullshit. The flickering is real and is terrible.

Today I got release 7. Are the contents/fixes posted some where? Fred J.

Hi, Fred.

I didn't try to follow the entire sequence - since I don't have the flickering problem. (As it says in my Sig, I'm running Quicken 2008 Deluxe (now R7) in Vista Ultimate x64. This is on an EPoX MF570sli motherboard (nVidia chipset), AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ CPU, and an ATI Radeon X1600 Pro

512 MB PCI-Express video card, with a Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 and IntelliPoint 6.2 drivers.) As I've complained here several times, I DO have a problem with the mouse scrolling wrongly in several places in Quicken, but NO flickering.

But I'm wondering whether there's a typo in this exchange, or a miscommunication:

...

Did you try the slider all the way to the LEFT, Fred?

Well, here's one:

After reading through the responses in this thread, and, seeing as I've been suffering with the flickering issues, I went out and found the latest drivers ATI for the Radeon 9600 graphics card in this box. There had been an update in March. Followed the instructions from ATI on how to remove the old and install the new.

Results: No more flickering.

Considering the angst on this thread, you could knock me over with a feather.

Box is running Windows XP3, 1 GHz Pentium III, 512 MB of RAM, and a ATI

9600 card gotten from CompUSA about two months before they closed up shop. 128 MB on the card.

I came across a free exchange program from Microsoft for the mouse I had which used up the batteries quite fast. They sent me a replacement one, "Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0" free of charge which included a CD with the latest version of Intellipoint 6.xxx?? This did two things to me, one the flicker and the other was the vertical slider bar would run very slow when viewing the check register etc. It would scroll about 1 line in 2 seconds. I stopped the process in task manager and that cured the problem. Ver 5.2 is still working ok for me, have not had any visits from Dr. Watson.!

I'm also using an MS wireless mouse, but refuse to use Intellipoint. Every time I install and use it, upon shutdown of the computer, I get all these Dr. Watson error pop-ups, forcing me to manually acknowledge them before the system will shut down.

Anyhoo, the driver version I reverted to on the 8400GS is:

6.14.11.6371 from 9/17/07.

I use Quicken 2008 because I am cheap AND two of my computers are still running W2k, that shows exactly how cheap I am. 2008 is the last version which runs on W2k. I got this flickering monitor with Quicken problem, on just one W2k computer, and looked all over the net for a resolution. I finally fixed it by replacing the nvidia driver 169.21 with a version 163.75, the problem completely went away! 169.21 was supposedly the last nvidia card driver which supported W2k.

Hope this helps some lost soul.
