Refreshing screen on Excel and Word - Windows 7

Hi,
I'm the network admin for the company I work for. In the past few days I've had 3 people complain about Microsoft Office 2013 cursor to "flicker"
In Excel, if you have a cell highlighted, you can see the box flicker as well.
I thought it was something with Office until we realized these three people have dropbox installed. I'm sure the free version if that makes a difference.
If I exit Dropbox, the flickering in Office stops.
None of these people have the options box checked to show the dropbox download in Office.
This seemed to start after a Dropbox update last week I believe.
Anyone have a fix other than uninstall Dropbox?
Thanks,
Jake

Thanks!
