Video Cards/Drivers reported to have DirectX bugs
ATI Rage 128 Pro. Go to the ATI website and download the newest drivers for Windows 2000. This card's bugs can even manifest as a memory error in java.exe.

Chris Chrysostom reported the following bad combination: 

  OS Version:  Windows 2000
  Video adapter: Diamond Multimedia Viper II Z200
  Video chipset: S3 Savage 2000
  Driver date: 4/19/2000
  Driver version: 5.12.1.0

Interestingly, this machine dual-boots Win98 and does just fine without the -D workaround under Win98.
