The flickering GUI problem has been around for a long time, why some people get it and other do not, have never been able to find out, always thought it was a nvidia card problem, but obviously not.

Used to be able to get rid of it by running nvidia's antialiasing setting at 8xS using vmr9 on xp, this seems now to have no effect.
Currently ATM have Vista running fine with evr or vmr9, xp gets bad flickering with vmr9, fine with evr.

This was first introduced when MP switched over to .net and vmr9, earlier wayback version used overlay and had no such problem.

Think this really is a .net\dx communication problem, how to resolve, may involve a MP core rewrite which is not going to happen.

Hopefully this will be kicked into touch with MP2, anyone has any other ideas on this.

Also tried every nvidia driver version going which has made no difference, but one thing did fix it was a cheap 7300 worked with no problem, when i put my 7900 in immediately got the flickering under vmr9 with xp.

This is one reason we could do with a DirectX Dev.
