You are probably running Mathematica 3.0.1 with your scrren depth set to 24-bit. There was a bug in 3.0.1 for Windows which caused this behavior only in 24-bit mode. It's possible that your video driver supports 32-bit mode, which would work around this problem at no loss of color resolution; otherwise, you could switch to 16-bit mode. To switch color depths, open the Display control panel, go to the Settings tab, and change the Color Palette dropdown to the desired value. If this seemed to work before, it is because your old Win95 setup must have used a different color depth. Rest assured that it is has nothing to do with Y2K.
