When I go to certain sites, for example www.marzocchi.com is one I can think of, my whole screen
flashes like crazy.

I can do the following to correct the problem:

When the screen is a long one, I can scroll down to hide the top colourful part of the site and
the flashing stops.

I can also highlight one of the pull down menus at the top, for example bomber zone, and the
flashing stops even though the top colourful part is still visible.

I am running IE 6 and have all my windows updates. What can I do to make the flashing stop
for good?

Thanks,

SDC

You might want to run a virus scan or 2 or maybe 6.

No problem there...and I update my definitions every day. I'm not having problems on 99% of sites.

If I were "~Travis", I'd tell you to switch to Linux!

But since I'm not, I tried the site and I don't see what you are seeing. I'm also on IE6 all patched
up. I wonder if it might be some kind of plug-in issue. Maybe you should try updating Flash.

But looking at the site's source code, it looks like there's no Flash but there is JavaScript. Do
the other sites you have trouble with use JavaScript too? Or maybe some other common thread?

I don't know, but narrowing it down to what makes this happen will help.

Sounds like it could be a video driver issue. See if there's an update.

Hey, I followed your tip and found this:

support.microsoft.comdefault.aspxOpen ↗

In case you're interested...disabling the JIT function with a restart did not help but disabling
active scripting helped. The screen does not flash like crazy anymore and everything looks the same
but I did lose the drop down menus across the top. That's fine because there is one at the top left
that I can use.

Thanks!

Use Mozilla Firebird (www.mozilla.org).

The Marzocchi site uses Java, so that when you run your mouse pointer over one of the links the
header image changes (to something relevant to that link). I'm guessing your Java is borked.

Actually, it's JavaScript. Not the same tool, but a quite similar name.
