I was having problems with it at some point on WinXP. Found out it was a bad Java update at one point that didn't properly clean up some old files or something and everything's worked fine after reinstalling. It's not a guaranteed solution.
I've got an older ATI card, so it's like v9.x or something on the drivers, so no suggestions for you there. Odds are if it's a video card/driver conflict it's going to crash to desktop or blue screen and you'll get some sort of error report, at least from what I've seen of issues around here.
