That usually occurs because:
a) No proper drivers for your video card (or just a very cheap card)
b) Using Multi-monitor
R4 will usually work in multi-monitor, but it is possible that it got dragged onto a monitor served by a video card that doesn't have OpenGL drivers. In that case, you can just run 'Reset R4 Settings' to fix it. This will do the equivalent of a uninstall/reinstall.
If you don't touch the R4 window, or always run R4 fullscreen, and you don't touch your video card settings, I can be quite confident it'll continue to work. I could be far more confident if you have an NVidia card (mainly because the drivers seem way better and more stable).
hope that helps,
