OK, here is the skinny. After reading all the posts today on the Fatal
Error Syndrome, it kept occurring to me that something in the video
driver / DirectX arena was probably the culprit, so I focused my energy
there. I ran DXDIAG, an it said everything was fine and dandy, but I
had my suspicions since it took forever for the Direct Draw test to
start. Bottom line is that Windows really can't 100% fix itself. You
have to do it for it. After trying just about every combination of
driver setting, I decided to punt.
With thanks to Tim, I followed his instructions, loaded new DirectX and
Nvidia driver and lo and behold...Beta 8 works!
Bad news part. CPU usage 7-8% with GDI+, jumps to 68-72% with DirectX!
