    Icon4 Flashing Screens all the time (like an untuned TV)

    I'm not sure the best way to describe this...
    All the static objects like the user interface, along with movies, main menu etc. - really everything short of the battle map and campaign map themselves - flash all the time. i can discern at least four sections of horizontal flashing, perhaps due to quad core. everything else works fine have never had this problem with anything before
    specs are as follows:

    Windows 7 64bit
    Core 2 quad Q8200 @ 2.4ghz
    4096mb mem
    GeForce HD4870 1gb

    cheers, SPQR.

    That's a hybrid monster! now seriously try the 9.2 to 9.6 drivers, for how to do it the right way see troubelshoot thread

    EDIT:
    I've found a way around the problem, if (when i first start up the game) i change from fullscreen to windowed it's fine. then when i start a battle i need to the do the process again. its just the click of one button but having to to it every battle get ridiculous.

    hybrid monster you say??
    its not GeForce the brand is Radeon mybad.

    You need to turn off AA in the catalyst control panel. Set it to application managed this will fix it. I had the same issue with my Radeon XFX 5770.

    Don't be writing in caps. It's considered yelling and in bad taste.

    AA is anti-aliasing to smooth the edges of the objects on screen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-aliasing is a good exlanantion.

    Depending on which graphic card/drivers your using go into the Control center (ATI) and there you can set the AA manualy or let the program (in this case NTW) decide AA settings (application managed), with the ATI drivers for instance unless you configure that to happen you will get flashing and other problems with the graphics so have a play!!
