Polygon renders only outline on specific video card (w/ driver details)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Goto the interactive example:
http://earth-api-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/interactive/index.html

2. Run the Create Polygon example. Run the Polygon Style example.

What is the expected output or behavior? What do you see instead?

The polygon is expected to be filled in solid white. After applying the
style the polygon is expected to be filled in a semi-transparent yellow.

Neither are filled in. I only see the outline.

Which plugin version are you using?

Google Earth API Plugin Version: 4.3.11528.8566

Which browsers and operating systems are affected?

Current: FireFox, IE, and SHDoc OCX

Pentium III CPU - S 933MHz
254MB RAM
Windows XP Pro SP 3 (with all current updates)
DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Intel 82815 Graphics Controller
Chip Type: Intel 82815
Approx Total Memory: 32 MB

Video Drivers:
DXDIAG all checks out, no issues.
(Detected and verified as up to date from Intel's website)
Main Driver i81xdnt5.dll 6.13.0001.3196 (En) 7/23/2002
Mini VDD: i81xnt5.sys VDD: n/a  DDI Version: 8

Supported screen modes (yeah that's all of them):
800x600 24 BPP @ 60 Hz
800x600 16 BPP @ 60 Hz

Please provide any additional information (code snippets/links) below.

The issue seems to only arise on our Noax C12 industrial touchscreen
we are evaluating our software on.

   The Google Earth Plug-in fails load or display at all in 24BPP, briefly
showing an error box that immediately disappears. The plug-in works in
16BPP but has the concerning rendering bug.
  The rendering bug is simple. A polygon does not get filled. Only the
outline is rendered. I tried several things, such as reversing the
order of the outer boundary coordinates, adding an inner boundary, and
adjusting the polygon's color from completely opaque to various other
colors. Only the bounding line renders without being filled. This
renders correctly on all our other machines, even in 800x600 16 BPP.
Again I assure you the video drivers are up to date and from the
manufacturer.
  I've also tried using DXDIAG to incrementally disable acceleration and
reloading the page, which did not affect the rendering. I then installed
the debug version of DirectX and used it's tools to incrementally test this
while trying combination of enabled/disabled options and acceleration
levels in the DirectX Control Panel. This provided no positive results.

Thanks,
