I just got DarkBASIC and I was running through the tutorials on the site. Whenever I type in PRINT "(Words Here)" and hit F5, the screen flashes black and white, but still shows the words. Is there any way to change this?

First of all, welcome to the forums!

Secondly, to save yourself a lot of grief in the future, before posting, always use the search button at the bottom of the screen first to see if your question has been asked before.

The flickering problem is a topic that has been discussed in great detail quite recently - I suffer from it too.

It tends to happen not on all machines, but does seem to be quite common on faster machines.

As such, there doesn't seem to be a single cure which works for all occasions. As there are a number of things to try, you'll have to find the threads and check the various options out.

The first thing to try would be to add as the first line of your program:

CLS 0: Sync

If that doesn't work try this thread:

Isn't that just the monitor adjusting?
Or do you mean a constant flickering?

Hi, I'm new to DB, and I was wondering if there was more of a permanent way to cure the flickering. I read the thread TDK_man had posted, but it seemed more like an unreasonable response followed by a few frustrated ones.

I've tried CLS 0: sync and it works, but is that the only way? I tried Wait 2 and that.. didn't do anything.

Also, I downloaded the patch, and now my DB wont work anymore saying a language file is missing then suddenly my AVG anti-virus program finds a trojan, something it hasn't done since i've last reformatted.
