1) Do you have any logs? 2) Are there any errors in them? 3) Can you run "glxgears" for a few seconds?
(Do you get a set of three gears when you do that, or just an empty black box?)

Okay, PlayOnLinux is WINE-based, so the logs should either be in a "dot directory" in your home directory (Do a "ls -la ~" and dig around the output), or they're somewhere in /var/. Been ages since I've used wine...
You mentioned that you've "upgraded" the NVidia GeForce 8600M GT drivers. Did you specifically get the ones from nVidia's website?
If by "Upgrade" you mean that you ran some sort of openSUSE 11.3 updater, then you probably just have a newer open-source driver, and not the binary driver provided by nVidia.

Hey there!
Apologies for the delay, but for some reason I didn't see the notification that you'd posted to this thread.
Okay, now about your problem; are there any logs in your home directory? (Do an "ls -la ~" at a terminal window, and look for anything with "wine" or "play on linux" in the name)
