Just to say that I have a very similar problem when I changed to win 7, with anti aliasing turned off. When viewing a plan in 2D and zooming in and out I had lots of glitches with lines and objects disappearing. As soon as I turned anti aliasing on its been fine so far.

Yes with anti aliasing you don't have a blinking and moving problem, but you have a viewing problem, the lines are too difficult to find. have you tried something else?

First of all update your driver of you videocard. If that does not work try to change the hardware acceleration. This you can find in Options/Work Environment/Advanced redraw options. Set this switch one step to the left and then try working again. If it does not work do another step, and so on.
