    I just searched and can't seem to find any definite reason.

    Every time I boot up on my dv9500t or come back from standby or anything the screen flashes black for a second. It's terribly annoying, anyone figure out what driver it is?

    I read it's from the audio and uninstalled and thought it went away, but now it's back.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, that happens to me as well and to a lot of others. I think it has to do with vista and the nvidia driver (8400 graphics chip). It is annoying and hope a fix comes up soon.

    I'm not, 32 bit (iPhone reasons ;))

    Good to know i'm not alone. I've tried 3 or 4 different nvidia drivers with no difference.
