Again this sounds like a video card driver issue. On my Nvidia GeForce 5200 I could not use the latest driver. I had to keep trying old drivers until I found one that worked. 
Again, this is a case where updating over something that may already work fine. I have also before updated drivers only to find out that the newer one was worse for certain programs, or didn't work at all. that's why they have a "roll back driver" option in control panel, too.
If something does already work, and if you're not absolutely positive that it's an old driver that's causing the current problem, updating for the sake of updating is not always advisable.
