Desktop won't stop flashing
Hi, a few days ago I noticed that my desktop icons flash. The flash is bright white. It's not the entire desktop just at the top. It's like there is a camera back there, and the flash is going off. Sometimes, if I click anywhere on my desktop a few icons will flash. Anyone have any suggestions? It's very annoying.

Thanks,

Wendy

have you checked all the cables connecting your computer to your monitor? it could be something as simple as a loose cable.

That's the last thing I'd think to check! I have not, but I will. I will let you know if it helps.

Thank you!

Wendy
