I get this error message with the folowing programs:

go to your graphics card settings and go to the troubleshooting tab, and see if hardware accelleration is on full, if not set it to full. thats the only thing i could think of that would cause that error

right click your desktop, select properties. go to settings then click advanced.
then select troubleshoot for the accelleration options
