What video card/chipset does your computer have?

You are running two coupled models (hadcm3). There used to be problems with S3 and Matrox video cards when viewing the globe graphic in hadcm3 models, but we haven\'t had any reports of it lately.

You may want to be sure you are running the latest video drivers for your video card.

You should also check that the version of DirectX is up to date, and that your display is OpenGL compatible.
Some notes on testing OpenGL here.

edit
OK, that\'s good. It took me too long to find the post on testing OpenGL and writing about it. :(
