Have you checked to see if your F5 key is stuck in the down position. Pressing F5 causes a refresh of the desktop which makes the icons reload (split second blink). Pressing F5 on a web browser causes the page to reload (also "refresh"). Holding F5 on the list of programs to uninstall causes the list to refresh (flash/flicker). Press/depress it several times to see if you can break it loose.

I see that MS also said it may be a problem with your display driver. Have you tried to update the driver, or rollback to a previous version of the driver? [More information].

If the above doesn't help, maybe someone else can jump in and help.
