This might be system dependent (OS, graphic card, driver). The
expression works as expected on my system.
In[1]:= Plot3D[Sin[x + y^2], {x, -3, 3}, {y, -2, 2}]
[... A nice colorful graphic of the surface is displayed ...]
In[2]:= $Version
Out[2]= "6.0 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (April 20, 2007)"
