I hope someone can help me with this. I've tried to google for the solution but i can't seem to find the right search terms to describe my problem.
The problem is, my active window (sometimes the background window) is blinking as if it's being selected and then unselected. So the border of internet explorer for instance would be alternating between the colour of being active and being inactive (in the background). The URL area also flashes too as if it's being selected and unselected as well.
When I click on the quck launch " >> ", the menu would appear and then disappear before i can select something from the extended menu. It's as if someone is presssing escape or pressing some other button.
I've removed the batteries from my keyboard and used my mouse to click on >> again but the problem still exist (so it's not a keyboard thing).
I've tried removing antivirus program, windows sidebar... i can't think of anything else. I've scanned for spyware with spybot and that hasn't helped (it found spyware, but it's removed and still the same problem exists).
This is not a video problem because the rest of my screen is fine (but to be sure i've updated to the latest video drivers.) THe flashing/blinking/alternating frequency is limited only to open windows.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
