Now I see that things are not as simple as I have thought. The preview 
works fine only _once_. If I force it to redraw (by dragging the window 
outside the screen and back again), the DOS box with the error message appears.
But -- the error message does not immediately cause total display 
corruption. It seems that it just makes things degrade slowly. The first 
few times the error occurs, everything works OK, but every time I make the 
window redraw, another error message appears, and after a few iterations, 
the display is corrupted.
It looks like some kind of (video) memory leak.
Maybe it's worth noting that I have installed DX9 SDK with debug version of 
DX libraries, although I use the retail version and also I don't think it 
should influence OGL.

The same pattern -- the first draw is OK, and as I make it redraw, the 
error message appears.
Another thing I have noticed: if I resize the window, the board disappears 
immediately (while normally this problem would appear only after much more 
redraws).

No, I've had them off.
