Can someone tell me why my screen flickers or objects will flicker while in games when they should not. I have tried diff refresh rates and on my other machine they dont flicker at all. I even checked my friends game his looks fine.
4600 geforce on a 17 inch Sony monitor. Refresh at 85 but I have tried 100, 75. Drivers tried 41.09, 40.72, 43.xx, and 30.82.
Top of the fences in baseball flickers, stadium rails, etc. Battlefield houses and roofs flicker like crazy. It is horrible. Any ideas would be great.

the GeForce 4 Ti 4600 supports DirectX 8.1
is your software compatible? goto start / run / type in dxdiag and run it. if you have directX 9 you'll have problems. if you have less than 8.1 upgrade to it from microsoft.

OK, so you say only certain aspects of the display are flickering and not the whole screen?
Does this happen on the desktop as well?
Have you tried removal and reinstallation of the game?
Have you tried to repair Win XP?
After all that if there is no joy I would take a hard look at the video card and/or monitor. Try it in another computer with the same monitor.
