I think Odaisé has hit the nail on the head.

It's a problem with OpenGL, so I suggest you check out the DLLs (if they exist)
<ul><li>opengl.dll</li><li>opengl32.dll</li><li>glut.dll</li><li>glut32.dll</li><li>glu.dll</li><li>glu32.dll</li><li>sdl.dll</ul>They should be in your C:\Windows\system32 folder. Back them up if you have them, download the following DLLs and put them into that folder:

<a href="http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?opengl">opengl32.dll</a>
<a href="http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?glu32">glu32.dll</a>
<a href="http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?glut32">glut32.dll</a>

Try updating your video card drivers first. To find out what sort of drivers you need, go to Start > Run, and type "dxdiag". You find your card or chip listed beside "Display adapter", most likely.

If neither that nor the DLLs fix the problem try doing the same with <a href="http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?sdl">sdl.dll</a>.
