Hi everybody my name is funkyfifer and I live in Scotland.
I am new to the forum and have joined today as I have a problem with the graphics displaying in adverts when I use internet explorer 7.
Basically, the flashing ads, banners etc, flash too much!
They flash so much it is painful to watch on some websites. Not every website I visit is affected, which is strange, and it is not pinpointed to any websites in particular, some days I may visit a page and it displays fine, then next day it can be flashing all over the place!
I have noticed that when I scroll down most websites I visit, the flashing starts and stops when I stop scrolling.
I have a page on bebo that I have a slideshow of my pictures and this slideshow constantly flickers, but only on my pc as I have tried using my friends and it looks fine.
Can anybody help?
Has anybody got to the end of this post?!
Also, I seem to have a problem with the pictures showing on some pages, it starts with a red x then when I right click and choose show picture, it changes to a 3 coloured tiny box, but still does not show the pics.
I have checked all my settings in tools etc and deleted my temporary files and cookies loads of times, but nothing changes.
I'm really stuck and would appreciate a bit of advice if anybody has came across this problem,
Thanks for getting this far!

Hi there, which web browser do you use?

@ Leb Hi and welcome to the site,

Are we talking about flashing or flickering?

Ahh sorry, that'll teach me to skim a post

Is internet explorer a must? The best way i've come across to hide ads and such is with firefox with the adblock extension installed and a decent filter set.

The flickering does sound like more of a general problem, personally here is what I would do.

• Do a windows update
• Check the sites in a different browser such as firefox or opera to see if the problem persists
• If the problem still persists make sure you have the latest drivers for your graphics card installed.

IE 7. ive uninstalled and reinstalled this also!

Hi, its flashing and flickering! if that makes any sense!
If I roll over certain adverts they start 2 go mad flickering and taking up half the page!
if I had 2 choose I would say flickering
