I have the same issue. I just recently posted, that I have for over a year now problems with StarCraft II. Since I am just playing then and when, it did not bother me that much - with my old laptop. With my new one, I started playing more, since it has a lot more graphics-power. BUT, I also use it for regular work. And for me, it only helps to uninstall the drivers.

Now, I wanted to play the (new) SimCity, since it also offers an offline Mode. Unfortunately I did not check further. So, I installed the game and I have the same problem: endless loop of flickering. No errors (not even in the event manager). It just...turns the screen black...and back.

It is really frustrating because now I have to decide: work or play. I am not willing to always install and uninstall my drivers! Please fix this!

I am also running Windows 7 pro 64 bit, with latest updates and latest DisplayLink drivers.
