Ok, the last few days my screen has constantly just been turning black whenever i flick between tabs, its cost me 5 games in the last two days and isnt intending on stopping.

I've un-installed and re-installed java rebooted, cleared browser history the works.

Is it constant ? Like if you minimize and restore the window does it change back to its normal state again ? Also does the sound of the game carry on and pms work as normal ?

My screen often flickers or goes black like that when i get a bit laggy but it usually fixes itself if i minimize/maximize the window now and again.

Guess you're not so lucky tho

Lol, nope even the pms do the same thing, eventually it leads to me using task manager to close it all.

i do apologise, you asked the question i gave you an answer.
because you only said it happens on original, that when it started happening to me. it only happens when you zoom and the scroll across or down.

i suggest dont zoom then.

This hints at a graphics card driver problem.

The most recent Java update has a few issues with some graphic cards, so checking for the latest driver for your card would be a good bet.
