   Unfortunately, for Super-HiRes to look right, it *MUST* flicker.  You
don't get your cake and eat it to, so-to-speak.  The Display Enhancer 
messes up the Super-HiRes mode when it removes the flicker.  It only looks
right when it flickers. (BTW, this is on systems with Display Enhancers,
such as the A3000)
