usually that mean that your sync rate is too slow. SO if you haven't set the sync on yet you want to do so.

This is the code you might have it the text flashes:

This is the code you should have


Hope this helps!

Depends what you are doing at the time... you didn't say.

If you are printing to the screen, is there a 3D background behind it?

Are you using the Print or the Text command?

If you are trying to print text over a 3D screen, then the screen update is deleting your text.

If this is the problem, put your TEXT commands immediately AFTER the Sync command - not before.

TDK, I think he means the famous XP flash bug - Unless you 'cls' occasionally, when you have your sync off the background flashes between white and black 30 times a second.

No matter what they say, (for me) the 1.13 upgrade does NOT fix it..!

blanky,

Just for further explaination, if sync is turned on, then the flash will never occur? I have never experimented with this problem, because it does not usually occur in the programs I write. However, I am using XP myself.

Don't you just love these unambiguous questions... lol.

Especially when posters never come back to explain things properly!

Anyway, he did say "when text comes up on the screen", so it could have been over a 3D screen and the Sync was wiping his text out. But as he hasn't been back, I guess we'll never know!

As for the flashing bit, if I run just the following:

CLS 0
Print "Hello World"
End

It does not flash at all. (I'm using XP too).

However, I have seen the problem many times, but using CLS 0: Sync on the first line of your program usually stops it.

I'm fairly certain that it's only a Sync related problem.

I think you want to turn the blue background off. Text will only "flash when using it.
