After I installed 1.5.1b build 260 I began to have a problem with my start menu showing up and flickering during the game. This happens whenever I am playing campaign or multiplayer. The specific parts of the start menu that are showing up are the start button and the right side with all the icons. If I click the start button in game the game will minimize and the start menu will come up. I can make the start menu autohide and the problem doesn't happen, but this is a nuisance and I would rather fix the problem if possible. Any suggestions?

System Specs:
500 mhz Celeron
256 mb RAM
Integrated Graphics
Windows 98

I'll assume that this problem didn't exist in Build 258. Is that correct?

Ya I never had it happen to me before. But I also couldn't use build 258 because it caused Direct3D problems. I also have noticed that this problem only happens about half of the time I play.

Are you pressing the Windows key on your keyboard by any chance?

No, that would make the whole start bar show up. This is just the start button and the start bar icons showing up and flickering. I'm just playing like I always do.
