The other way is to go into device manager and disable the touchscreen function. Not 100% but I'm pretty certain it was in the "Human Interface" section. You can easily toggle it back on again later.

I did this on mine last week, as I was getting sick of nuisance events. Besides, I almost never use the touchscreen function now that I have an MPG.

That makes sense, because if you watch the line count in the video, it never seems to finish drawing the program (which is over 1100 lines long).

Guys, using Slodat's example file I have used the following steps to reproduce:

- Home Machine
- Load and Graph Slodat's NC file - Appears normal with no flickering
- Using Part setup, probe using bore cycle (I use the DP-4 tool)
- Disconnect Probe
- Graph Soldat's file - Graph flickering appears

It therefore appears to be connected with Pulsing/Strobing/Flickering issue previously reported which Keith has confirmed as a known issue with v4.50 that will be rectified in the next release

See link viewtopic.php?f=60&t=4478

This is the same issue that Slodat experienced here viewtopic.php?f=60&t=4867

Hope this helps
Hope this helps

Thank you for the steps to reproduce Nigelo.

This does seem to be linked to the probe Pulsing issue. I did note it acts differently based on if your probe is NO/NC and only happens after performing a probing cycle.

As stated, this particular issue is being worked on and will be resolved next release.
