Torque 1.5 corrupt char's

I have just purchased Torque 1.5 and have found it has a bug that was in Torque 1.4.
This is in unmodified SDK release. I run the Starter.Racing.bat and after a while the char's get corrupted. This effects the console, the world editor and other GUI's aswell. Example images below.

With Torque 1.4 I compiled my own version and this fixed the problem but with Torque 1.5 this doesn't fix the problem.
Has anyone else seen this or know how to cure it?.
Many thanks in advance.

I can honestly say I have never seen that happen, and if I did, I would be very scared.

Can you get any sort of consistency out of it? Like use the demo for 5 minutes and it always happens or something?

It generaly happends when loading a mission or in the editor. Sometimes when the race starts. However other times it works fine.?.
I take it you have Torque 1.5 and this doesn't happen to you.

I have 1.4 & 1.5 and when I switch from openGL to directX I get some weird effect.

If I run Torque in D3D the char's don't get corrupted. This seems to be an opengl issue. I will try running torque on another machine in opengl mode and see if its relative to the machine or torque.

I have tested it on my gaming PC and it works find in opengl mode, no corruption. Possibly an issue with the drivers on my development machine. I will look into updating the drivers. I think opengl is distributed with the graphic card drivers, isn't it?.
@mb
I get the same directx corruption issue when switching to directX on my gaing machine, but if you then bring up the console (Blind) and quit, then re-open torque, it loads back up fine?.
Again, this may be a driver issue. I will upgrade my graphics drivers on my gaming machine aswell, however my development machine that has the opengl problem works fine in directx?.

Are you guys running old drivers?
