Looks like your Direct3D hardware acceleration is disabled. Also, check if D3D DirectX is enabled.

To check if D3D is enabled: Go to Start --> Run and then put dxdiag. Go to the Display tab and check if all three features are enabled (DirectDraw, Direct3D and AGP Texture).

To check if hardware acceleration is enabled: Right click your desktop and press Properties. Click the Settings tab and then the Advanced button. Then click the Troubleshoot tab and check if Hardware acceleration is set to Full.
