you said only or tabbing or deselecting the window.
No, I said Tabbing will mess up the true color display, likely because Dink likes to run in 640x480, where my Windows is using 1360x768, with 32bit True color. The disappearing sprites seem to relate more to how long the engine has been running. I notice that it only happens in a select few DMods, so I am confident it is not a Win7 issue.

Also, I am MCP and licensed to resell Microsoft product, Windows does not cost me enough to consider using an unauthentic installation.

I haven't tried it on my Win8 box yet, but I don't remember the periodic flicker when I was using Win95. For clarity, the flicker is considerably slower than the monitor refresh rate, it visually resembles the same delay you might experience if turning a group of sprites on and off. This flickering doesn't necessarily coincide with events of missing sprites.

The flickering happens with both v1.08 and v1.09. though I haven't had missing houses in 1.08 yet.
