Dwarf,
I am also able to reproduce the problem and I have a Diamond video card.
I have 3.0 under w95.  
When I was using 2.2 under Windows, again with a Diamond video card, I
had similar problems.
Wolfram advised me to switch to standard VGA, which worked fine, except
for the poorer quality video.  I subsequently got rid of the card when
I got
rid of the computer during an upgrade exercise.  I was also doing a lot
of work on a NeXT, which had excellent resolution, but no color, but
worked  fine for the work I was doing.
