It doesn't crash with software rendering or on other machines with
different cards. I've already tried updating both XP and the drivers
to no avail. My graphics card isn't bad per se. It works just fine
with other apps. The driver must have a bad interation with IDL.
Strangely this card is a professional level OpenGL card unlike most of
the cards people buy to play games at home. It is one of the
recommended cards for high end professional 3D graphics work.
