screen flashes on windows startup. problem?
I just purchased a Dell Latitude D820 a couple of weeks ago and the screen flashes for a split second when windows loads. After I type in my password windows starts to load, flashes for a split second, and then continues loading. Everything else seems okay and I have not had any other problems. When I disable everything in the startup menu in msconfig the screen does not flash. I am wondering if this flashing is normal or if it is a problem I should be worried about. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

it's probably normal behaviour. Something loads in the background and makes the windows logo flash.

If your computer runs fine, don't worry about it.

Does the same thing happen if you connect a standard monitor to the VGA jack?

Yes, the same thing happens if I connect an external monitor, except the flash is just a little bit longer.

In that case, it's probably just the Windows video driver kicking in.
