screen flashes on windows startup. problem?

[infantrytroop22]

I just purchased a Dell Latitude D820 a couple of weeks ago and the screen flashes for a split second when windows loads. After I type in my password windows starts to load, flashes for a split second, and then continues loading. Everything else seems okay and I have not had any other problems. When I disable everything in the startup menu in msconfig the screen does not flash. I am wondering if this flashing is normal or if it is a problem I should be worried about. If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I too get a small blink on the sreen during the loading of Windows [2000Pro].
It doesn't worry me.
I figure it's normal.
Perhaps changing video drivers from the basic to the more sophisticated variety.
Or perhaps changing video configuration settings.
