I am going to interpret "the screen flickers" as "the console window in 
which filePro is running flickers".  Let me know if I am mistaken.

I am going to interpret "resize the screen input size" as "change the window 
to use a different font size". Let me know if I am mistaken.

I used to see this on older Windows systems if you used the "wrong" font 
settings.  ("Wrong" being open to interpretation, and could change from 
system to system, version to version, video driver to video driver, and so on.)

Try changing the window's properties to "raster font" and see if that helps.
