Hi Jacob-

Thanks for finding these problems for us.  Hopefully the reliabilty
of these catalogs will increase over time.

This is most likely a video driver issue.  What type of video card
do you have?  If it is an NVidia card, there are drivers available to
improve performance.  Let me know what you have and I will help you
upgrade if possible.
