Full screen gaming mode; flickers each time msn has notification

Asked By Mike Pincher 10 points N/A Posted on - 03/22/2013

Hello experts,

I am confused if the driver of my newly installed video card is affecting my OpenGl because each time I am on full screen gaming mode on 3D and new notification from MSN will show, my screen will flicker for a couple of seconds then it gets back to normal. 

That notification should just pop out and will not interfere with my current active window as it was before I upgraded to GF3 9500 pro. 

Any advice guys?

Hello there, 

It seems that the msn program is creating conflicts with your graphic card. First of all try to reinstall you graphics card from your computer and also while on safe mode uninstall and reinstall your graphic card drivers. 

Also if that doesn’t work you should end the process of the msn program through the task manager before playing a game and see if the problem is solved

Hope that helped,
Regards
