screen flashing when starting WMP
anytime i go to watch a movie, it flashes black real quick before it starts and then again after i close it... any idea why? (ATI Mobility x1300 video card, and latest catalyst drivers)

I may be mistaken but I'm sure that's perfectly normal behaviour!

Do you mean that the screen in WMP flashes on startup or that you entire monitor display flashes?
The first would be normal, the second would be unusual behaviour! |

Are you talking about a laptop?
I guess that may well be the problem! If it doesn't happen again, then you know that's what was causing it
