This is a CLASSIC error when you either don't have video drivers installed or something has gone wrong with it.

Whether you have an ATi or nVidia card, go to their site, DOWNLOAD THE LATEST DRIVERS, then go to Add/Remove Programs, UNINSTALL ANY video display driver that you have right now (if you do so) and THEN install the NEW drivers you got.
It will solve your problem :)

(I hope you're not running windows 2k3)

Well I got the graphics one fixed by installing intel graphics media accelerator driver.
