To clarify what I mean by the "pink and bluish scribbles" here is a screen shot -- yes it just happened again.

The interesting thing is that when I choose to capture the screen shot from the movie player menu the image comes out okay :? I think it happens when I change from desktop without effects to desktop with effects. It was working fine a little while ago.

Here are the comments about people who had the same problem with the flickering black screen.

Let me point out I tried some of those solutions and it didn't work for me. (When I have the desktop effects on)

I am trying the desktop effects without the window wobbling to see if that's the problem. I'll post the results later.

I think nVidia is part of the problem but I am also inclined to believe that the Desktop effects need some serious work done to them. It is horrible to get people all excited about this candy and then give them all kinds of issues :-D So far it's like having a relationship with a Playboy model.
