This doesn't sound too good. To see it on one computer,
but not on another suggests graphics cards. Have you tried
the program with software rendering turned on? That clears
up an awful lot of lousy OpenGL implementations by
the hardware manufacturers. :-)

I'd contact the folks at RSI about "Internal errors".

Cheers,

David
