Graphics blink on and off!

Game unplayable :(

Hey all. Just bought Rebellion on Steam. My PC is a Phenom II X4 965BE with a GeForce 8600GT (I know, old...but I intend to upgrade soon). Got 4GB system ram. Win 7 64-bit Home Premium, all updates applied. I let the game choose all of its own detail levels. Problem is, as soon as I start the game - even on the menu - the picture goes black, then it's fine, then black, then fine. While the picture is on, I can see that the game runs smooth enough. But it won't stop blinking!

Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

When was the last time you updated your graphics drivers?

Very recently, and Nvidia control panel hasn't told me there are any updates.

Tell a lie - there's an update there. It just didn't notify me. I may well end up with egg on my face. Will know in about 20 minutes! *gets ready to facepalm*

Steam overlay! That was the culprit. Disabled it and everything is fine.
