Black flickering on white objects after I take a picture.

I have a Nikon D50 and now when I take pictures and I look at them through the LSD there are places that flicker black. It is mostly on anything that is white in the picture. Is there something wrong with the camera or did I accidently change something? It never did this before. The pictures still come out very nice.

You probably put on the grayscale setting, which basically points out all of the grays in a picture, because most photographers don't like/want grays. There should be a little button that looks similar to a graph and if you push it, then it should take the gray map off.

This is because you have somehow gotten it into one of the image review modes that points out highlights. In other words, the camera is showing you everywhere the color was too bright, and it cut to pure white. This is remedied by putting the camera into view mode and then pressing the up and down buttons until normality is restored. Also make sure the picture you took/brought up had some blik=nking areas to begin with, or there is no way to compare!

As a top user, I am marking Tyler's answer as the best answer.

Actually the blinking light is designed to tell the Photographer the picture is over exposed in the high light area.
This alerts the photographer to retake the picture with reduced EV.

Normally this is set to off by default, and set to on by the Photographer using the ' Up Button ', if he finds a use for it. Under view picture mode, it is possible to hit the 'Up Button' and set it on accidentally.

It can be set to off by pressing the ' Up Button ' twice.
