384 DDR 333mhz
Motherboard MSI kt6v

I experience screen flashes with Opera open. When there are open pages that use dynamic content that forces the page to refresh, then a screen flicker occurs.

actually what it sounds like.. you copied the exe to the desktop, and didnt actually create a shortcut for it... copy the shortcut from the start menu to your desktop.. i bet it works then:)
