Ah.  Are you running in 16-bit graphics mode?  Java will crash if it is
run on any display that isn't 8 or 24 bit.  Since there exists no Sun
hardware that is 16-bit graphics you get some odd effects when you try
to run Sun software on such a display.

If you are running in 8-bit mode, I imagine then that the problem is 
because HotJava can't get enough colors; as I said, make sure you aren't
running netscape at the same time.
