Usually a graphics card issue and shows up when there are multiple
displays (main view and RHI).  Do you have the latest video driver?

Ah, life on the nightly build edge. ;-) My bad.  I recently made
some changes to the CrossSections (which RHI is a subclass) and
removed the menu.  Find it in tomorrow's build under the View->RHI
menu.  Thanks for finding that.

NVidia is usually pretty good.  One other option is to try the
Vista version (works on XP) which uses a different Java 3D.
