        John,

        It's your graphics card having problems with the OpenGL system. You should try to download and install the latest(or a newer) display driver from the card chipset manufacturer's website (usually Nvidia or Ati. If you are lucky (it works with only a few cards) it might be enough to turn off Fast Feedback (Window>Preferences>OpenGL) and restart SU. If you are unlucky or have a motherboard-integrated graphics card (like thr Intel chipset)you might have to turn off Hardware Acceleration from the same dialog.
