ACAD 2006 Flicker

    Hi,
    We just upgraded an ACAD machine to a Dell with a Quadro FX 570. For
    some reason ACAD 2006 now "Flickers" erratically which bugs the
    draftsman to no end. Has anybody seen this and if so, do you know of
    a solution? I've seen something on the board about an intellimouse
    issue, but plugging in a new mouse doesn't solve the problem.

    Thanks,
    MGA

    It's not the mouse itself that is causing the flicker. It's the Intellipoint
    driver.

    Uninstall the driver.

    I switched to a Logitech MX Revolution, and really like how it works. And
    not flicker.

    But just installing a new mouse doesn't do it. You have to remove the
    Intellipoint mouse driver.

    If after that it still flickers, see if you have a MS wireless keyboard, it
    also uses some sort of Intellipoint driver. If so, remove it as well.

    But for most I think, removing the Intellipoint mouse driver cures the
    screen flicker.

    And it works! The intellipoint software was the problem. Thanks.
