Well, the screen will flash when you use any of the following:

BOX
DOT
CIRCLE
PASTE IMAGE
etc..

sprites are fine to use

i have the same problem sometimes, but only when i load my sprites (not even using paste image), but that's only when i do sprites. other than that, i have no problems. i've got windows xp pro, i've heard that (even with the 1.13 patch) your screen will flicker some using this particular os. what os are you running? another thing that might be wrong (like mr program has mentioned) is your video card. correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't db a little bit geared towards nvidia's cards? i'm using an ATI card and i think that what might be causing some of my problems.

You're ate up like a soup sandwich.

for gods sake. just start of your program with CLS like this:

cls
print "hello world"

now wasn't that helpful!

i don't know why this happens it's just weird. i get it too.

after you changed the display mode you should always perform a CLS

(when not rendering 3d)

This is a simple solution!

I bet you that you're using Windows 2000 and a version of DarkBasic less than 1.13. Upgrade it using 1.13 patch.

I had this problem with DarkBasic 1.08 when I was using Win.2000

(And before you ask by Windows 2000 i mean windows 2000 and xp and newer)
