desktop flickering

[kammradt]

When i open a PDF, the hole desktop flickers for a while. What could i do to solve that?

I use Windows 2000 SP4 RP1 with all security patches.

a PDF who cause that is for example:

I see a high cpu usage of foxitreader.exe if I view your attached file, but no flicker.

Which version of foxitreader do you use?

Hi,
I can read without problem too.
I think it may be cause by the large graph you put in your file, your OS and your hardware condition.

I have a PC with 1 GB Ram and 3 GHz Pentium 4, i think that should be enough to view PDF files.

I use Version 2.0 Build 0912.

In the PDF files are links to the articles in our shop. If i use a link to view the article details, and then close the ie window with the article details, the desktop begins to flicker.

After each use of the links, it flickers oftener.

Another example is:

I'm using W2K SP4 with all patches and Opera 9.01 as a browser.
When I click on your files they get downloaded and opened in Foxit (2.0 build 0912).
Your file 128.pdf rebuilds a few times on the screen (the flickering I suppose you mean) before it shows. Also when I click a link in the file, Foxit starts redrawing the file, until Opera has loaded the link in the background. When I switch to another program and back to Foxit, it also redraws the graphics.

Very annoying...

I have the same issue, since before 2.0 final and now with it as well. Running an AMD 4800 X2 with 2 gigs of memory. Try this link: http://incompetech.com/beta/linedGraphPaper/plain.html

make a piece of graph paper using the default settings then view it. I'm using firefox so it asks me what to do, I select open. When it opens, it flickers forever and much of my desktop and other programs will flicker.

if it matters, I'm running a 24" monitor at 1920 x 1200. I've updated my NVidia drivers to the latest and it still does it.

My remedy is to move the foxit reader or reduce it's size. Then it seems to work. If I maximize foxit (or close and reopen the pdf) it'll start massive flickering. Also the cpu usage is very high when it's happening (80+ %) Any ideas on what to try?

thanks for great software! Sean

for what it's worth, I downloaded the 0930 version and it still does it with many of the pdf's that I open up.

Hi Sean,
I got some feedbacks from our users about this issue. It seems that it has something to do with the driver of graphic card, that is, after they installed the right/proper driver, this problem seems disappear.
