Ok.. this is the thing.. I just bought my new dell laptop and it has a pretty good configuration. It came with vista.. The video card is ge-force 8600 gt so it's pretty good. The problem is everytime after boot my screen flickers twice afterwich everything is fine. I thought it was because of a program or something. I stopped a lot of programs from startup but nothing. A friend of mine told me he has the same problem and it's because of vista. Is it true? Can't it be cured somehow? Please help.. I think my laptop will brake if it continues to flicker like that.
