Check out the message attach.

DirectX version probably run in software mode. You can verify it
by using
java -Dj3d.debug=true HelloUniverse
Try
(i) Switch to 32/16 bit display mode to see which one works in
your driver DirectX doesn't like 24bit color mode.
(ii) Update to use DirectX 8.1

There is an incompatibility with Nvidia's latest drivers and
the install shield executable that is used with Java 3D 1.3 beta2.
Perhaps this is the corruption that you are seeing. The workaround
is to use disable the nView utility and reboot your machine. Or, you
can use older Nvidia drivers during the install.
