    Quick question. I have a VGN-FZ4000 CTO and every once in a while, no rhyme or reason, the screen flickers...usually when switching apps or something- but I can't find a method to the madness. It doesn't affect the use of the machine, but it's odd since I've never experienced a machine that did this before.

    Does anyone else have this issue!?
    Thanks!

    Couple of things - if you have not already, go to the Vista Tweaks thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=166532 and do #1. Also, go to laptopvideo2go.com and find nVidia Driver 167.43 and install it. If you look at the forum there, there is a thread related to this driver for Sony.
