Windows Vista : Flashing taskbar

My flashbar keeps flashing blue every 2 or 3 seconds and it's driving me nuts!! I've tried closing out all the system tray icons, that didn't work. I tried using Windows standard theme, but that didn't work either.

Help!

Thanks,

blastranger,

The bar at the bottom of the screen(the one that has the start button and the system tray) keeps flashing.
I'm pretty sure it's called a taskbar??

Hello,

found some off these online,they might help you.

Run TweakUI, "General" tab, check the box, "Prevent applications from
stealing focus", uncheck "Flash taskbar button until I click on it",
"Apply", "OK"

Tweakui Version 1.33.0.0

Some Information that I should have given earlier:
OS: Windows Vista X64 Home Premium
System Model: HP Pavillion dv4 Notebook PC
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400@2GHz
Display: Mobile Intel(R) 4Series Express ChipSet Family

Just to clear things up: it's not the taskbar that's flashing, it's a blue strip thing that keep's flashing at the bottom of the screen. I should have specified that earlier.

I tried running a diagnostic start-up with all the start-up programs disabled, yet the flashing still continued. Here's a video I uploaded of the "flashing blue strip":

Sounds like funky process running or something nasty -- suggest running good sweep

or

Running tooo much and graphics hitting limits etc
