Sounds like a video card issue.  What platform are you using (Windows 

or Macintosh)?  What video card are you using?


ATI video cards have had problems with this type of thing before. 

ATI has been very good about updating their video drivers to address 

this issue.  If you're using an ATI card, try visiting their web site 

(http://www.atitech.ca) and downloading the latest video drivers for 

your card.
