Strange flicker.

After I installed WMP9 again. When I play some files, the screen for the video flickers black and all. Not only that, my desktop flickers too. Flickering usually means that you've been hacked. It's the same issue with RealOne player. What's happening?

I have to ask this, "Flickering usually means that you've been hacked." Where did you get this information from?

I don't know what's wrong with WMP, but I think flickering has nothing to do with being hacked.

I read it some where in an article. It means either you got hacked or have a virus.

It could be a lot of things, but I wouldn’t be so quick to say that you have been hacked.

That wasn't what I was asking. I was asking if their was something wrong with WMP9. Streaming videos and files I play on WMP9 and RealOne player flickers black. Is their like something wrong?
