It seems quite a few people are experiencing the video glitch problem; Random flickering of maps and game pieces.
Try rolling back to an earlier Java revision. Java 6 Update 7 is known to work reliably I believe. Later updates included in Windows XP Service packs seem to cause issues.

Thus spake “bsmith”:
I recommend reporting the problem to Sun. If they don’t know about it,
they can’t fix it.

I get the refreshing problem with the big new GB2/CB (awesome btw) module.
It only happens with the 25% setting so I can work round it.
My system monitor says I’ve got plenty of memory.
Strangely while the CPU does nothing while in 50% mode it is doing something really straining it in 25% mode
I’ll try the Java rollback
Thus spake “Danielharvey1”:
In a few days we’ll hvae something which I’d like you to try, if you’re
willing. (It would involve trying a test build with the newer version of
Java.)

I’m sorry, it looks like the fix will have to wait for 3.2, as the changes required for it are too great to put into a 3.1 release.
