Hi Rob,
That looks like great info -- could you put it in a bug report at
https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/? Just log in with the same email address and password you used on the forum, and paste all this info in your report. That way we can make sure this issue doesn't get lost in the forum traffic

I'm sure you've already done this, but before entering the bug, please check that your drivers are the latest versions from the manufacturer. This will insure we're not chasing a bug that's already fixed

In your bug report, could you include your Java version, and tell us whether your Windows is 32-bit (I'm assuming it is). And to get more debug logging output from your program, please add "-Dnewt.debug=all -Dnativewindow.debug=all -Djogl.debug=all" to your VM args before capturing the log.
I've seen this type of issue before with older Windows XP 32-bit systems like yours. The best way for us to debug it is if we have a small test case that duplicates the problem. Is it possible to pull out a standalone test (maybe one or two pages of code) that will reliably cause the problem on your machine? If so, I'll test it on some of my old machines and see if I can duplicate it.
