Sometime ago a kind soul helped me with this same problem but I've forgotten what they said.

After 3 weeks or so of not using LE, when it finishes loading the screen starts flickering.  I haven't changed the computer in any way except to load the game Syberia, (which I removed).  It was working fine before that time.  I had the same problem when I first received this new Dell laptop, and I believe someone told me to click something but as I said, I've forgotten exactly what.  I've tried changing all the compatibility options to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

I save all information about LE in Word, so I went back over the reams of stuff I've saved and found it!  So if anyone else has this problem the solution is to make sure you have downloaded the upgrade for night lighting from the ea site.  I had it, but for some reason had deleted it in an excess of purging plug-in files.  It works just fine now.  (I can never understand why the computer can't do what I need and not what I tell it I need.)

Glad you got that sorted Anna.  See, you can do this without us.
