Thanks guys. At the moment this is one of 2,000 users, so he's in our process.  We advise exactly what you say: get newest drivers.

If I catch an exception around the GLCapabilieis() call, will it prevent the JVM abort, in you experience. Unfortunately the program runs fine on all my test machines, so I can't replicate the bug locally.

Thanks.
