I changed the Windows UI recently to use the WGL_ARB_pixel_format  
extension to query pixel formats instead of the standard GDI calls  
when that extension is available. Unfortunately, the ATI drivers have  
a bug where some pixel format attributes cause the driver to  
arbitrarily give you an invalid pixel format that just produces a red  
window. The ioquake3 project ran into a similar problem:

I've pushed a patch that causes the Windows UI to always use the GDI  
functions. Let me know if that fixes your problem.
