Windows 8.1 if I need to pause POV-Ray for some reason, such as to log on to an
MMORPG real quick to help someone POV-Ray flashes every few seconds. It's like
the attention getting error type flashes but there is no error other than on
pause. Even if I make POV-Ray the front application, it still flashes every few
seconds.

How do I stop it? It gets annoying after a few minutes of non stop flashing
every few seconds. Yet I can't un-pause it while running games because it makes
some games run at crawl pace. I've tried that once on an emergency raid, and
ill-timed lag caused me to miss a few important heals which resulted in 30 dead
players. :( (I blamed my cat for that wipe in raid channel)

Send POVWIN to the system tray using the 'Tray' button in the toolbar.
