Sounds like a driver bug, a problem which is astoundingly (and
annoyingly) common on Win32 systems. Check the WWW site of the vendor
of the graphics card and make sure you have the latest drivers. If
that doesn't fix the problem, open the Display control panel and set
acceleration to its lowest level. This will force the driver to use
software to do the drawing rather than the hardware, which eliminates
these problems in all cases we know of.
