Michele, you may wish to try turning on OpenGL extension limits in your nVidia Control Panel. I've found that my particular JRE (6.0) acts a little funky when given free reins with extension limits, and it works like a charm when the setting is changed from the default.
I'm not sure it will help in your case, but it doesn't hurt to try.
