Comment flashes (blinks)
 

This is a problem I have encountered 3 times now. It has happened for users
on both Excel 2002 (2) and Excel 2003 (1).
The cell with a comment attached is displayed in the worksheet but when you
hover over the commented cell it flashes the comment for a split second so
that it can not be read instead of displaying the comment box like it is
supposed to.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

I've never seen this behavior, so this is a guess (at best).

I think I would look at display properties (new video driver???) or even memory
usage--close some running programs.
