Stop digital displays from flashing while updating

[hecmar.arreola]

I've upgraded from LabVIEW 5 to LabVIEW 8 over that past week.  One thing that is really bothering me is that my digital displays that are updating during a while loop flash.  That is, between updating from one value to the next the digits momentarily dissapear and then reapear with their new values.  The results are very annoying.  I didn't have this problem with LabVIEW 5.  Please help!

I've never seen that. Can you attach an example?

How are you updating the displays (wire, local variable, value property, ...). What is the loop rate? What kind of "digital displays" are you talking about (e.g. simple numeric indicators)? Are the indicators overlapping (even slightly) on the FP?

I solved it. Slow computer + 8MB video card + having ClearType in Windows XP turned on did mix well with really large digital indicators on the front panel (i like to be able to see them from across the room). Turning off ClearType font smoothing fixed the problem.
