Another question! :p Flashing icons when DVD is playing!

[Fid]

Hey!

Yep... another question from me, sorry I just want to know everything about the laptop LOL.

Well, my question is...

When I open a DVD and play it in WinDVD, I notice that if it is window size (and not full screen), all of my icons on the desktop flash - also the thing that controls WinDVD at the bottom also flashes. I think it has only *just* started doing this.

I've also noticed sometimes that if you type on messenger, the cursor flashes lol. Its not a massive problem, just can get a bit annoying.

Any ideas why it would do this?

-- Also LOL I've noticed too that once in a while, sometimes the touch pad loses sensitivity... or doesn't move when you want it or move slowly. I would have put it to the laptop cpu being high/used and to wait... but that doesn't seem to be the case. Again, just can be annoying sometimes.

Have you installed any CPU-hungry applications after this problem started? Hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and check, if there is any app that uses your CPU-power more than normal.

I have seen this on a friends PC, and he had an app running in the background while watching a DVD, that used almost 60% of the CPU while playing the DVD.
