| 1312654 | 2012-11-15 09:34:00 | Hello Friends, I have a 17inch Dell XPS laptop. I just upgraded from Windows7 to Windows8, everything works well but I have noticed that now my screen keeps flickering, this only happens when I run the laptop on battery (mains not connected). As soon as I connect the mains power supply the flickering stops. Could anyone advice why this happens and how can I stop this from happening..?? I have checked the monitor refresh rate and it is at 60 Hertz (have nothing more than that). Also I'm running on the recommended resolution of 1920 X 1080. This never used to happen in Windows7. All help will be much appreciated. Thanks and Regards. Aspi. |

| 1312655 | 2012-11-15 09:45:00 | Flickering is random brightness change (like a candle sort of thing) or more of a deliberate dark/bright change. Rather are the graphics displayed flickering? Check for drivers would be my first step since you are using a new OS. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||

| 1312658 | 2012-11-18 09:04:00 | Hi Speedy, Thank you very much for the link that you sent. It helped and the problem has now been resolved after I reset the settings as described in one of the links. However I have yet another issue now. My Laptop is not recognising my Webcam when I log into Skype for video chatting. This used to work very well earlier. Can you suggest something. Thanks and Regards. |

| 1312659 | 2012-11-18 19:03:00 | Cool! Umm look in device manager for the webcam entry. Dbl click on it. What does it it say?? Any error / error codes?? This is an onboard cam?? Some laptop cams can be blocked by firewalls like Kaspersky / bitdefender. Bitdefender isn't installed is it?? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
