When I go to the Command Line Interface, I have a normal bottom half of the screen for inputing commands, but the top half of the screen that runs those commands is constantly flashing white, with two little black boxes in the middle.

Anyone have an idea why? DX issue, perhaps?

Best,

Unk

It could be a weird sync problem, like you have 2 screens, 1 physical and 1 buffer - and syncing switches between them, all the drawing is done onto the buffer screen, and they're swapped when you sync. This means that if you constantly sync without drawing to the screens, it just flicks between each screen - and it might be that one screen has your graphics, the other has nothing.

It might be a simple case of drawing your stuff twice, like a little For...Next loop with the sync inside would draw it on both screens, then flicking between them won't be a problem.

I used the have this with the old DB - chaning my drivers stopped it. But that also sent every other app on my PC into mayhem

This is a problem with XP and DBC.
To fix it, update to latest version ( to find out how, refer to the sticky at top of this board ), then do as JohnY said, use a CLS at the start of your loop
