Game EX first time set up

[JonnyCD]

I used the set up wizard on basic and it came up with the following error log.

I'm new to GEX and appreciate any help with the specific problem highlighted in this error log.

Many thanks in advance, Jonny

Looks like either a Direct X problem or a graphics card problem. Make sure your direct x is updated, and your GFX card has the latest drivers.
