Disc Menu Glitch in PE 9 Question

Question

Hello, been working with PE 9 DVD Disc Menus.  I've done a search and couldn't find this topic.  If there is a similar situation discussed, please direct me to it.  Otherwise the situation is: 
When selecting a standard Disc Menu such as "Slide Disc Menus, Slide Shows, Pan and Zoom", after all the edits are done, such as adding a still picture background, editing text, scenes, etc.), while previewing the Main Menu (hit Preview button in PE 9 Disc Menu edit screen and second window pops up showing the Main Disc Menu, where you can actually press Scenes, Play, etc.), during this preview and after burned to a DVD and watching the same Disc Menu on TV w/ the DVD in the player, the still image in the custom Disc Main Menu seems to flicker back and forth in about a few seconds intervals, constantly like a loop, and it goes from a clear image to a slight blurred image, and will even change the text color, even tho it shows the text as one color in the editing screen.  This loop of going from a clear background image to a blurred one and flickering as such every second or so happens even while trying other types of Disc Menu setups in PE9.  Is this just caused by the DVD recycling itself on standby and cannot really be delt with, or is this a glitch w/ PE 9?  Was wondering how to keep the Disc Menu screen still, and with a constant clear image, etc. 
The Disc Menu editing selections, etc. are as follows: 
-Menu Background, Video Or Still (a still .bmp picture used), In Point= 0, Use Still Frame is unchecked and cannot be checked, and the same for Apply Default Transition before loop
-Audio, (I added a blank short audio clip because PE9 will not save your edited disc menus unless you assign some kind of audio clip file even if it's a muted sound),  In Point = 00:00:00:00000, Apply defualt transition before loop is unchecked, duration is around a few seconds.
-Motion Menu Buttons, duration = 00;00;00;01
Thank You for any help/ideas.

What you have described for your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 disc menu situation is not normal.
Usual drill type:
1. Does problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you running from User Account with Administrative Privileges as well as from Run As Administrator applied to the program's desktop icon?
I have looked at the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 disc menu issue that you described and cannot confirm your feature malfunctions.
I have looked at Still replacement for the menu background, using still formats of bmp, jpg, png, and psd. The pixel dimensions were 720 x 480 and up.
It is true that the previewing in the disc menu section is not always good, but you say that you see the same issue before and after burn to.
Here is what I would like you to explore
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if that does not work, then delete the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in the 9.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then you delete the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives is active so that you can see the complete path cited.
2. If "1" has no impact on the situation, the delete the BadDrivers.txt file.
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
9.0
and in this 9.0 Folder should be the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. A new BadDrivers.txt file will be generated when you open Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 after the deletion.
Make sure that Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives is active so that you can see the complete path cited.
3. If "1" and "2" have no impact on the situation, then we start thinking in terms of uninstall, ccleaner run through, and reinstall.
For this approach, do you have your purchased serial number, installation files or installation disc? Did you install your disc menus
from Content installation disc or from Adobe using its Content download link?
Please review and consider.
Thank you.
