Default flashing screen - 08-11-2010 , 05:24 AM






FMP 11 on Windows XP
For the last day, my primary FMP file has been acting oddly. It opens fine
but then it seems to "blink" or "flash" every few seconds. My other FMP
files are acting normally. Has anyone heard of this happening with FMP 11,
or do I perhaps have a corrupted file?? Any suggestions? Very distracting
to try to type in data with the screen fading in and out every so often.

check FM web site to see what the min OS and video requirements are for ver
11 ... you may need to upgrade your OS

This problem seems to have cleared up on its own. I checked the specs on
the FMP website and they are minimal for FMP 11. I meet all the CPU, video,
RAM requirements with ease. But for about 24 hours I was experiencing this
odd effect with this one file. I did virus scans, malware checks, etc., and
everything was in good shape. Then after about 24 hours of this, it seems
to have cleared up on its own. Very odd. I have been using FMP and this
one file for about 15 years and never experienced anything quite like it.
