Same here re not knowing what to recommend for a quick fix. I'm wondering if
it's a video driver issue, though. I'd probably see if updating the video
driver and changing hardware acceleration helps. Those are fairly painless
things to try, although I'd be sure to set a restore checkpoint (if using
Windows XP) before updating the video driver.

acceleration.
