Re: IE and Outlook Express flashing file dialog box

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Absolutely....If I recall, that was a pretty big patch. I ran mine on a test
PC, but I wouldn't uninstall the patch on a work computer.

Still, hopefully Microsoft will fix this glitch one day, but I'm not holding
my breath.

When it happens (and it does happen), I find that just moving the mouse to
the topmost portion of the Outlook Express window stops the blinking of
that box within a second or two. Much faster than opening Task Manager
and I would not recommend that anyone remove the Security update in KB
905915 just because of that problem.

I found the culprit. It was KB905915, released 12/13/2005.
"Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer for Windows XP"

OE and IE worked fine with all previously released patches. Once I
installed that one, the flashing started.
