I've been running a small app to help myself learn JOGL with a GLJPanel on Windows XP without any trouble.  I just tried to run it on a new laptop with Windows 7 64 (with an nvidia card, 270 drivers) and the app freezes up.

If I run without my GLJPanel everything is fine.

I tried the define above but it didn't work for me.  I'm posting my init calls to jogl below to see if anyone can point out anything glaring.  I'm using jogl 2 signed candidate (dated March 3, 2011).  

Thanks in advance for any help.  I'm a bit stuck (I've tried the Dell drivers as well).  Hopefully it's the way I'm using JOGL.

From a "main" class:

GLProfile glprofile = GLProfile.getDefault();
GLCapabilities glcapabilities = new GLCapabilities( glprofile );
myPanel = new MyGLJPanel(glcapabilities,size);

The init() method for MyGLJPanel is:
public void init(GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
               
  GL2 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL2();
  gl.glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
  gl.glEnable(GL.GL_DEPTH_TEST);
  gl.glClear(GL.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
  gl.glFlush();
}

I invoke draw() as I need to (not using an FPSAnimator).  At the moment, draw is just rotating a cylinder.

public void display(GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
  GL2 gl = drawable.getGL().getGL2();
  gl.glMatrixMode(GL2.GL_MODELVIEW);
  gl.glLoadIdentity();
  gl.glClear(GL.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL.GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
               
  gl.glPushMatrix();
               
    gl.glTranslatef(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
    setGreen(gl);
    float fRadius = 10.0f;
    float fHeight = 30.0f;
    int fSlices = 40;
    int fStacks = 1;
               
    // some rotation code here

    // draw the cylinder
    fGlut.glutWireCylinder(fRadius, fHeight, fSlices, fStacks);
               
  gl.glPopMatrix();
               
                               
  gl.glFlush();
}
