SYMPTOMS
========

2. Click Options, and then click Graphics.

3. Under Graphics Details, click Textured Sky to disable it.

If the issue continues to occur, try reducing your Graphics Hardware
Acceleration. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

2. Double-click System.

4. Move the Hardware Acceleration slider until it is one notch to the right of

If the flashing problem persists, you may need to update your display driver.
