Using the free version here, so not in a position to complain, and as I know it works on other machines I'm pretty sure this is an issue with the machine I'm trying to run it on.

I'm getting the same momentary flash of gridlines on startup or load, followed by a blank. Recreate views doesn't work. Safe Mode does.

I know the most recent available driver for the PC is from 2005 (!) as the latest Intel chipset driver installer won't complete the installation on this specific model (bleh 'manufacturer's customised driver'). Going to see if I can persuade it to use Intel's own driver anyway.
