Hi Huang, The latest v1.3 beta1 of Java3D using DirectX 8.0 API but the previous version v1.2.1 using DirectX 7.0 API instead. We also found that under some graphics card (in particular neomagic card for laptop) the display mode that use to work for 3D is no longer working under DirectX 8.0.
You should get the same result by running some samples 3D program after installing DirectX 8.0 SDK (without using Java3D). To solve this limitation of DirectX 8.0 you can either switch to another display mode or install the OpenGL version for Java3D.
