Browsing the Quicken Community Forums, I've seen nothing but horror stories there regarding screen flickering - going back to version
2007, and maybe earlier. I just had an opportunity to take 2008 Deluxe for a test spin (currently using 2006 Deluxe) and found the same problem. My screen flickers and redraws so often this application is unusable. Suggested fixes there included and entire gamut of possibilities, including changing PDF driver settings, changing fonts, lowering screen resolutions & video driver acceleration, removing USB devices, and uninstalling MS Intellipoint. From all the different "solutions" posted there, two things seem to be clear; .. that Intuit has absolutely no idea what's causing this problem, and that they have no intention of fixing it. Does that sound about right? I run dozens of applications on XP-SP2 & Vista systems here and NONE of them seem to have this problem. CLEARLY this is an issue with Quicken, even though it is more expedient and fashionable these days to place blame elsewhere. (I especially liked the post there that contained a reply from Intuit claiming that this was "not a known issue" - why then the dozens of pages in their forums stating otherwise??...) Apparently this problem still exists after what looks like years of consumer complaints, and it isn't even being addressed, much less fixed. This is a dealbreaker if there ever was one...
