E1505 Screen Flicker
I just received my new Inspiron E1505. Once it starts, the screen will occasionally flicker once or twice. This happens way after the I started the computer.
I am running Windows Vista. I've already had a bunch of issues with driver and program compatibility. I'm not too thrilled with this new operating system.
Does anyone know why my screen could be flickering. Could it be because of Vista? Is it a computer defect? Thanks.

More recently I installed Office 2007. When I use the drawing features, the screen begins to flicker quite frequently, say once every second or two.
This is NOT the typical 60hz refresh rate flicker. This is far more pronounced.
I have the Intel 945GM graphics card. Unfortunately, it only gives acceptable results when set at maximum resolution and 32 bit depth. Anything less, and the graphics and fonts look like they are produced by a 1988 era computer... very fuzzy.
I've tried the following (aside from changing screen resolutions, hardware acceleration, color depth and any other tweak I can find):
upgrading bios
upgrading graphics driver
downgrading graphics driver
assigning more RAM to the card
Nothing works. My "old" dell inspirion 700 had a much better screen!
Any suggestions other than giving up and buying a different computer?
