RTFM SplashTextOn(), it has a remark addressing update flicker.

I want to know if i can fix the $REMAINING and $ELAPSED labels so that they don't flicker when i update them ... NOT THE SPLASH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

It may be a bug... create a short example script... I remember that I had to switch from GUICtrlSetData() to ControlSetText() in a project because of flicker...

have you tried only updating the control when the value changed ...not each loop...

In his case $Remaining is a label not splash text.

One of the first steps is to split that label into 2. The text "Remaining:" is constant so just put that into a separate label so it doesn't update.

The second label which will contain the actual updated text can be handled with something like the following;

$txt1 = GUICtrlRead($label)

$txt2 = "What I want the label to display"

If $Txt2 <> $Txt1 Then GUICtrlSetData($label, $Txt2)

When updating label data it is always better to test for existing data before updating.

BTW: the same applies to GUICtrlSetState(). Test for the current state before setting a new state. That also avoids flickering. If you don't test then GUICtrlSetState() will set that state whether or not it is already the current state and that causes a brief flicker.

No problem. Glad it helps. One of these days I have to get around to collecting all of these tips in one place and putting them on my web site. Maybe tomorrow (because tomorrow never comes).
