Browsing the Quicken Community Forums, I've seen nothing but horror
stories there regarding screen flickering - going back to version
2007, and maybe earlier. I just had an opportunity to take 2008
Deluxe for a test spin (currently using 2006 Deluxe) and found the
same problem. My screen flickers and redraws so often this
application is unusable.

Suggested fixes there included and entire gamut of possibilities,
including changing PDF driver settings, changing fonts, lowering
screen resolutions & video driver acceleration, removing USB devices,
and uninstalling MS Intellipoint.

From all the different "solutions" posted there, two things seem to be
clear; .. that Intuit has absolutely no idea what's causing this
problem, and that they have no intention of fixing it.

Does that sound about right? I run dozens of applications on XP-SP2 &
Vista systems here and NONE of them seem to have this problem. CLEARLY
this is an issue with Quicken, even though it is more expedient and
fashionable these days to place blame elsewhere. (I especially liked
the post there that contained a reply from Intuit claiming that this
was "not a known issue" - why then the dozens of pages in their forums
stating otherwise??...)

Apparently this problem still exists after what looks like years of
consumer complaints, and it isn't even being addressed, much less
fixed. This is a dealbreaker if there ever was one...

Change the video refresh rate.

I've tried that - including all of the other "fixes" people suggested
and NOTHING works.

I first noticed this in Quicken 2007 deluxe, running on XP Pro SP2. I had
upgraded from Quicken 2004.
Bought Quicken 2006 deluxe, hoping it might go away, it did not.

I recently installed Vista 64 bit, to dual boot with XP Pro, and have
installed Quicken 2008 Deluxe on it about a week ago, so far, I am not
seeing that behaviour running in Vista 64 bit, as I do running it in XP Pro.
