So I just recently upgraded to Windows 7. After installing all the necessary drivers provided by Windows Update, It was time to install the one provided for the Graphics Card. Ever since I've got the driver set, there seems to be this flicker on the screen that tends to show up every few seconds.

It's really annoying.. can anybody help?

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.

Having the latest driver is not always the best solution.

Have you tried rolling back to the previous driver from within Device Manager or downloading one from the manufacturer's driver page?

The only option available is 60. Would I be able to install an older version of the driver?
