Stewart,

The key here is the "VXD..." part. That indicates a device driver, specifically your 
video card driver. Access your display settings from your desktop by right-clicking 
on any empty area and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu. Next, go to the 
"Settings" tab and click on "Advanced Properties" and then on "Adapter". 

Check your adapter type to make sure you have the proper adapter displayed and not 
the generic Windows graphics driver. If you do have the proper adapter and drivers, 
then click on the "Performance" tab. In the Graphics section on this sheet, note 
the position of the "Hardware Acceleration" tab and back it off (to the left) one 
notch to see if that helps. Reboot and try again.
