Is there some thing I am missing With ShiftOut?

As Part of a larger project I am using an 8 x 8 RGB Led display(see data sheet below). I thought it was going to be the easy part, But it is driving·me bonkers ( on the up side I am getting plenty of overtime).
It mostly works. My current code gives my most of my characters· although it has a tendency to leave out the last pixel or leaver part of the top line flickering. I would think it was some sort of hardware problem·but if I use simpler code were I store whole bytes for each·led and just read and shift them out it work perfectly. Unfortunately that requires·to much memory.·I have assume that I am doing something stupid. I would appreciate someone pointing what it is out.
Edit:
I am·now sure it is not a hardware problem, and It on seems to effect the first byte my code reads out of the data section.
