Sun's Bug Parade identifies a number of issues with the DirectDraw
support required for the Java 2 JVM on windows platforms.
Java 2 assumes a decent implementation of DirectDraw in the windows
video drivers, an assumption which unfortunately is not met by
many cards. You have a few things to try:
1) Disable animated cursors in your mouse control panel. These
are known to cause problems.
2) Update the video drivers for your hardware. Check the manufacturer
to see if they have any known bugs for their current versions. You may
need to actually downgrade if an older driver is lacking a new bug in the
latest driver, for instance.
3) See the README file provided with your JVM, and/or the Sun Bug Parade.
There is a -D parameter you put on your java command that will disabled
DirectDraw calls from the JVM. It's something like -Djava2d.noddraw=1
I forget the exact format, since I don't do windows. I just see this
complaint a LOT on the borland.public.jbuilder groups... Look around
for direct draw bugs.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
