Ok, just to clarify: i've tried rebooting, i've tried reinstalling blender, i've tried reinstalling my video drivers, i've tried using different versions of my video drivers, i've tried using debug mode, nothing works. any other ideas?

ok, i guess your on an official bulid downloaded from blender.org.. hmm.. check out graphicall.org (http://www.graphicall.org) you can get cvs & optimised builds from there, check if one of them perhaps works.. certainly the first time i hear of blender not functioning like that..:shrug: allso concider downloading and installing python 2.4 (python.org) if the custom builds have the same trouble..!

First suggestion would be to turn down hardware accelleration that fixes 99% of opengl errors.
