IB Workstation Keeps Flickering

[Trader33160]

I've been having my IB workstation flicker every few minutes for the last few weeks. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes mine does the same thing, on startup.

Any solutions? I called the helpdesk and they are of no help, happens on multiple computers for me.

Logging into IB at the same time from different computers will cause your problem.

what do you mean by flicker? like a graphical flicker or connection issues? maybe try getting the latest version of java and downloading the standalone TWS.

I do not log in at the same time, meant I have tried to log in with different computers, same problem. Both have multiple video cards and multiple monitors

It's a graphical flicker, there are other programs on the screen but only the IB page keeps flickering.

Yes, I get it on my windows XP machine, but not my windows Me machine.

Hmm -- same version of Java?

There is a java update, I don't use IB TWS though.
