"Flashing" usually means an issue with the graphics driver, try toggling the File -> Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Disable hardware graphics acceleration setting. You can also try running Outlook in safe mode (hold the CTRL key while launching it or type 'Outlook /safe' in the run box). Recreating the profile doesn't hurt either.
