Default NVIDIA 8400 QUICKEN FLICKER

Yes, it only affects Quicken 2008 on my computer an HP Pavilion d4990y,

This started happening right after Quicken was installed in Feb 2008.
This does not occur in any of the other programs.

Oh, and by the way this has been reported to Quicken about their 2008
version by several users.

I tried NVIDIA's Aug 2007 v6.14.11.6230 and their December 2007 driver,
both were downloaded from the NVIDIA's site.

I rolled back the drivers to the Aug 2007 version as it has the least
detrimental affect on Quicken.

Since your system is likely a HP notebook as it uses an nVidia 8400M GS
display adapter you should contact HP customer support for a solution. It
is also likely that HP may have made specific 8400M GS driver modifications.
Discussions with HP customer support would also benefit from the fact that
HP will KNOW what modifications may have been made and what your notebook
native resolution is, and thus won't have to pull teeth to get that
necessary information from you. (You are using the notebook screen at its
native resolution for Quicken 2008, right? Or are you using an external
monitor? In which case a whole 'nother series of questions and answers is
necessary.) At any rate, if further help is necessary, post here AFTER
consulting with HP customer support.

A warning... it is not a good idea to use your valid email address as an
identity when posting to Usenet. Spammers and malicious worms scan posts on
Usenet to harvest email addresses to use as To: addresses and to use as fake
From: addresses. The preferred safer alternative is to use some email
address identity with the domain ' which is reserved and can
not be a valid email domain ) for example.

I was asking this group if they had any idea of what could be done to
correct the problem as Quicken does not seem to have a clue.

Or, if they do, they are not sharing it with the Quicken Users.

I had some flicker and movement on an HP Computer with Quicken 2008 using
the 8/27/2007 drivers.

I checked and discovered that they had newer drivers that had came out
in December.

Installed the newer drivers and the flicker and movement was ten times
as bad.

No other programs are affected.

Any ideas?


This only happens in Quicken 2008? And in no other 2D app? Or windows?
And it started doing this when? Which HP model? Which OS? Whose drivers?
8400M series? Please be specific.
