Hi,
This is a symptom of a graphics driver error. You should try to update your 
driver to the most recent release if it is available.

This problem has just shown up on a number of machines with our introduction of 
a new higher resolution  world map file that contains a large number of 
polygons. 

If you cannot update your driver or if the update does not fix it you could 
turn off the display of that particular map.
