  1. Right mouse click on your desktop and choose Properties.
  2. If you have a Refresh tab, you may change the refresh rate that reduces flicker. Choose Change Configuration, and increase to 85Hz for 640X480, 800X600, and 1024X768.
    If you do not have a Refresh tab, click on the Settings tab and then the Advanced Properties button. The type of video adapter (card) your computer has will be displayed.
  3. Click the cancel button.
