This has been discussed before, but I don't know if a bug report was 
ever filed. It's not the nVidia drivers - I see the same thing with a  
PVR-350 on my AthlonXP-based box. What processors are you all using? The 
last time I had a problem with the preview window it was because I 
wasn't compiling with mmx support. Maybe I'm not doing it again...
