have you tried rebooting your machine? You are playing in fullscreen correct?

The only time I have seen this error has been when I have accidently launched more than one instance of AE (i.e. clicking too many times on the game icon [8|] ). Perhaps a screensaver or other program is running in background that doesn't like to share resources. As usually, you might also verify that your video device drivers are up to date.
