Screen Flicker With Access 2003 Under Vista

[Wayne]

I've noticed some screen flicker when using Access 2003 under Vista
and I'm curious as to whether this is a bug or peculiar to my machine.

In design view, if I make changes to a form and then close the form, a
couple of seconds after I have OKed the save prompt the Database
Window that shows all my objects gives one flicker.

Once again, in design view if I change a property for a control in the
Properties box and then move the mouse cursor back to a control on the
form, mostly, but not always, the "Toolbox" toolbar will flicker a
couple of seconds after I move mouse focus back to the form.

I have my machine in a dual boot XP/Vista configuration and none of
the above problems manifest under XP.

Any comments or help is appreciated.

More info on this issue. The screen flicker problem is really obvious
in the "Relationships" window. When the window is opened, 9 out of 10
times the tables will flicker once. Whenever a relationship is
changed the same flicker will occur.

This flicker issue only manifests when the "Windows Vista Basic" and
"Windows Standard" schemes are being used. When Aero is being used
the problem is not seen. I have found the cause to be the
Intellipoint 6 mouse software. I disabled it in Task Manager and the
problem stopped, then enabled it again and the problem reappeared.
I've now uninstalled it altogether.

Every new release of Intellipoint seems to have issues and this one is
no exception. Maybe one day they'll get it right. If anyone else is
having issues with Intellipoint 6 please post about it.
