Quick Draw helped a little (the graphics didn't look peculiar and then freeze; they were just frozen from the start). I can find no tab for "hardware acceleration". My Vista machine is a four core machine. An eight core one sounds very impressive. Once you have it up and running, you should be able to see the problem clearly. In the meantime, I will stick with the 2D version, and await your verdict on the situation.

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.

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).
