When you first run a program, or display text in a program it has the flashing background that makes epileptic kids go crazy. How do you get rid of that? The autocam on/off doesn't work for text.

-And no one's sure how all of this got started but we're gonna make'em God-Damn certain how it's gonna end.

Yea, that happens to me too. I think it has to do with your graphics card. It never happened to my other computer. I just put cls at the begining of the program when that happens.

If you had 3D and try to use text, you may want to use the sync commands and you might want to change them to about sync rate 60. Or are you talking about the actual .exe file that flashes in the bottom corner of the screen? If so, this is due to either low RAM or an inferior graphics card.

If it's what I think it is, then you are probably using DB Classic with Windows XP. If so, it's a glitch which was supposed to have been fixed in the last update, but for me didn't cure it.

To fix it, put at the start of your program:

Sync On: CLS 0: Sync Rate Whatever

Obviously put the value you want instead of 'Whatever'.

Just saying that I also get this problem, and sync'ing and using 3D or using 'cls' fixes it.

No, glyvin101. If you'd bothered to read what TDK_Man said, you'd see that it fixed it for some people BUT NOT ALL.

And STOP SHOUTING PLZKTHXBAI AND I AM NOT GOLDEN MORE A KIND OF YELLOWEY-GREY
