I sometimes get a flicker when I receive a skype message. Make sure DK2 is the only program running to check this.
Try running the program with the command line parameters " -softwarefilter -32bitdisplay " (make a desktop shortcut and paste the - commands behind the "Target:" line, and behind the exclamation marks.
Try running the game in windowed mode (needs a registry entry change & doesn't work on my laptop with GIM, but solved the problem on my old computer).
You also might want to run the game in 640x480 resolution, but I cannot confirm that there is an effect. You could also try to update your gpu driver, because some can cause issues. I've read something about problems with Vsync in the past, but I cannot remember where that was.
