Two things to checkL

1. Try turning your display's hardware accelleration option off.

2. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your display.

I've been making Win standalones on my Mac for years, and in the few cases
where I've had mysterious behavior, one or both of the above have taken case
of it in nearly every case.  They may not be at the root of your issues, but
they're worth trying.
