Carl.. Did you buy your amiga used? If so, then you are experiencing a problem related to older a1200's. I have one of the early 1200's and experience the exact symptoms you are describing. Even when running in 72Hz productivity mode there is still "rolling flicker", especially when the cpu is busy or the drives are accessed. I've heard different explanations for this problem but I have never seen a hardware fix presented for it. Hopefully some techie out there has an answer and can post it. I heard that commodore would fix it, but my computer is no longer under warranty, and I'm not sure about leaving my system with Commodore anyway in their present state. Try the Euro 72Hz mode to reduce your flicker, but a true fix will require some kind of hardware mod. – Ray
