The problem does not happen with other computers. I have the latest virus protection with webroot. Only happens on the compaq CQ60 running windows vista.

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
