Graphics Problem - Tiny flashing black dot on screen

At some moments in the game (sometimes more, sometimes less often) it will happen that in the upper right of my screen a tiny black dot keeps flashing. When I stand next to the wheel on the Screaming Narwhal for example, so that the background is all bright and blue, and just do nothing for around two minutes, the dot will have flashed up approximately 15-20 times or so. It would also flash up if I did something more active than nothing, of course.

It seems like a minor issue, but after a while, it really starts getting on one's nerves. First I thought that it might have to do with the Windows sidebar, but when I activate it, the dot will still appear.

Is this a problem that only I encounter or do others experience this too?

    Fun fact: This only seems to occur with the resolution set to 1280x800. With 1024x768 and 1280x720 I don't encounter the same problems. Still a pity, because the game definitely looks best with 1280x800.

    Am I really the only one on this forum who experiences the "black dot of Monkey Island"?

    Haven't seen it, is 1280 X 800 your max resolution? If not try setting it higher, if you can hit the native resolution of your panel that should look best.

    The native resolution of my panel is 1280x800. I'll install the game on my desktop pc as soon as I find the time, and check if the black dot occurs on there as well. It's a minor issue anyway, but still: it's kind of annoying.
