Default Flashing Intro movies and game screen

Just in case anyone else runs into this issue.

When running the game I sometimes get flashing during the intro movie and in-game. It is really obvious and looks like there is a refresh problem. I have an ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 running on Vista x32

It turns out if my machine enters sleep mode and then I run the game the video gets all corrupted. If you reboot before running the game after the machine exits sleep mode the game works fine.

Just installed the demo and it was flashing so badly I almost hit the power button on my monitor for fear of it getting fried. Played around a bit and it'd stop for a second or two when I clicked a button but that was it. Resolution, refresh rate nada.

4870x2 on Vista 64 home premium, up-to-date drivers. i7 920, 3 gigs ram.

I'm tempted to try the reboot thing but then I'd want to play the game--and I'm not messing with a game that requires a reboot to be playable. Pity; adore Space Rangers 2 and was looking forward to this one.

Guys can you please specify game versions you are playing and the version of drivers (catalyst 9.3 I guess).

I'd uninstalled it by the time I posted, but it was whatever demo version was on gamershell.com March 21 2009.

My drivers are 9.2. Could'a sworn they were up-to-date. I'll fix that and dl a demo again when I've got a chance, see if the problem is still there. What's the current demo release?

If you've not been able to reproduce, I want to stress it's not flickery like a low-refresh CRT, it's like staring at a strobe light. After a minute of fighting through settings (tried resolution and v-sync; didn't try play windowed) to see if I could fix it I had a blinding headache and was worried about my monitor. It's completely unplayable.

PS. Hope sales are going well. Big fan of you guys!

[edit] On that first attempt turning on vsync changed the problem to a rapidly rolling bar, similar to (but worse than) pointing an analog video camera at a CRT with both on different power feeds so the sync is mismatched.
