Every once in while, when I'm in WordPerfect, I notice that the screen will flicker, the entire screen will dim and brighten, giving the impression that it's about to explode! Well, maybe not explode... Anyway, can anyone tell me what might be causing this? At first I attributed this to eye fatigue, but that isn't it. And it only happens when I'm using WordPerfect, so that would seem to rule out general brown-outs or power surges as the cause, too. Hard disk activity is also not the cause. Eliminating these, does anyone have a good suggestion as to the cause of the problem? Thank you, Warner Young
