My customer wants to have McAfee Viruscan to run a check everytime she
boots. That's why I can't get rid of autoexec.bat.
We did try to get rid of it, but it resulted in more flickers.
When I put back an empty config.sys, 1 flicker went away.

Hey, that's great info. I will try it. Thanks !!

Any ideas on how to do away with this switching ?

I did. Actually, my brother sold them the PC. I'm trying to save him the
effort because I know nothing's wrong with the hardware. I myself don't
mind the flicker. It's just that the customer insists on eliminating the
flicker. Anyway, I've told my brither to head on to the customer's house
and check it out. But even he doesn't see that there's a problem at all -
much less, know a solution to teh so called "problem".
