Flashing Windows

Does anybody have issues with their Windows, going crazy, and flashing back and fourth? It is a not responding issue, and it is keeping me from getting anything done.

Yep - it’s as if every window in 3dsmax splits into a separate process on the windows taskbar. Very annoying and I’ve found nothing to fix it yet.

I did turn off the Window service (Desktop Window Manager), that lets the OS know when something isn’t responding, which seems to help. I also turned off Aero.

Yeah I never had that until I started working with window 7. Its hard to get control back when that happens and I can’t figure out exactly
what sends it off. I’ll try the solutions posted by glorybound to see if that helps.

I have had issues saving because I couldn’t get focus back on the save dialog box.

This drives me nuts as well. I only started experiencing it with max 2012. My vray windows get sticky all the time and pop in and out. Argggg!

I’m not sure that should work but have tried this??
