Flickering screen on drop down menu - Win 8

[saisran 84]

after my 7 year old system died. I finally got my hands on a new laptop. problem is, it came standard with windows 8. I downloaded the latest patch in hopes it fixes the problem. but no luck. Can't select load outs or configure settings as when you click on a drop down selection it flickers. loading time takes longer as well. and i believe it crashed once. Any advice?

If i don't find a fix soon. i guess i'll be starve from SF2 until im home on the PC. Don't have the cash at the moment to get a new windows. Don't think my xp is compatible with Acer. Cant wait for Christmas to get a different machine. :)
