I'm here! Just a bit distracted at present. I should be getting access to a
64bit vista (8 core!) machine soon, so I'll be able to look at this.
As always trying to turn down/off "hardware acceleration" in the display
properties (no idea if this has changed in Vista), will give an idea if the
problem is with the graphics driver or the vista opengl driver.

know if Jon is online these days, but last time he told me the 3d code will
undergo some changes. I had some weird issues and one of the thing that
partially solved them (before a code fix) was to use the quick draw function
(Settings/Appearance/General, check Quick drawing). MaX.
