I built a new pc about 4 months ago now and have this problem since I've had it: when I have Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne maximized, my background icons and some programs (ventrilo and garena mostly) begin to flicker a lot. i have dual monitors and when i have warcraft in focus it becomes a huge distraction (and im pretty sure it causes lag to my war3 since my fps drops from capped to 40-50ish), this problem never happened on my old pc
specs:
windows xp sp3
intel core i5 cpu 750 2.67ghz
4gb g.skill ram
ati radeon hd 4770
monitor 1 (main): optiquest q2201wb
monitor 2: acer b203w
both monitor resolutions: 1680x1050
both monitors refresh rate: 60hz
i have spent a lot of time in the catalyst control center trying to fix this issue however nothing helps
my warcraft's resolution is 1600x1200x32 and i thought this would be the issue since it's bigger than my desktop resolution however when i used other resolutions (1280x1050 for example) everything was still flickering
i have tried messing with the refresh rates of warcraft and it matches my monitors (60), and i have also tried setting my monitors to 75hz and the same issue is still there
i have also tried turning my main monitor into my secondary and my secondary into my main one however the problem still exists
vertical sync is disabled by default
not sure what other info to add, just ask if you need something
thanks
