Hi, I don't know why are you using a 2008 version. Try with kicad-2009-02-16-final, last stable version.
In a very old version, about 2005, the 3D dislay problem was related with the color depth stated in the system, 24 or 32 was needed. But now I think it is not that case.

Out of my 3 machines running the same OS, only 1 runs the 3d Display without crashing. The other two crash the 3D Display by simply closing PCBnew. Are there any files that I can look at to get an idea on what is happening? > > This also happens when browsing CVpcb, 'view selected footprint', 3D. > > > > > > >
