Ok, first things first.

SYSTEM:
mobo: Shuttle AK32A (VIA KT266A, VT8366A/VT8233)
CPU: Athlon 1800+
VID: ATI Radeon 8500 64 meg
RAM: 512meg Mushkin DDR 2100 cas 2.5
Sound: SB Live! 5.1 (sb0100)
OS: XP PRO
HD: Maxtor 7200 60 Gig (Quantum drive)

Ok, now, the menu screen of D3 is flickering like crazy and is driving me nuts! Egg nog won't even cure it. :\ So I must resort to posting here. *sigh*


The menu screen runs at 640x480x256 (wth???) and my monitor which is a Samsung Syncmaster 955df does not like it. In that menu, it runs at 60Hz. I have tried setting that res at 100hz on the desktop which fixes most problems in games when i run across this particular issue; however, this has no effect on it. I'm at a loss. It seems that D3 is bent on running the menu screen at this refresh rate. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Try newer video drivers. I have the same monitor and I don't have the problem.

Refreshlock can fix this...email me and i can send it to ya...

Or Powerstrip.

Merlin: Thx, I have the newest Omega. The reg tweeks he incorperates seem to like this card better than the regular CAT Drivers.
