<p>We can troubleshoot any flickering you have but as I am not a developer I would not have the knowledge necessary to determine whether any flickering is being caused by whats described in that article or not.  </p><p>Give me a description of the flickering you see.  I would also recommend posting your DXDIAG information so I can make any system related recommendations that may help to alleviate any issues you are experiencing.  Only include the top 3 sections covering the system/display/sound devices which should fit in a single response.</p>
