I've had this problem too, just randomly :I It worked yesterday, then I moved some new videos into my tv show folder, named them correctly, and tried to launch it, but it pops up with that thing :/
I've reinstalled a few times, uninstalled hamachi, everything, and I can't get it to work ;-; sorry if the obvious answer was already stated but I didn't really find anything that helped me in this thread.

I received this error when trying to run portable for the first time. I took ownership of the XBMC folder and it went away.

The relevant log entry is;
NOTICE: Found screen: Generic PnP Monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter, adapter 0.
You haven't installed the drivers for your video card so Windows is using the default "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" driver and this won't work with XBMC.

I have the same problem, but have installed the latest intel graphic driver for
945 chipset and directx 9.0c running.
The log only shows "noticed" logentrys and on fatal error CApplication.

Hi guys,
After installing XBMC on my computer running windows server 2003, I had the same error when starting:
CApplication::Create: Unable to init rendering system
I updated the video drivers and updated directx without luck
Then i ran Dxdiag and went to the tab display. There i noticed that directdraw acceleration and direct3d acceleration were both turned off.
When I activated those XMBC started.
Hope this helps for you guys!

I was having this same issue - I got this running on a VMware VM by doing the following:
(why do I want it on a VM? My HTPC's aren't on all the time - they're in sleep when not in use... my main media server is a ESXi 5.0 Update 1 box running multiple VM's, including unRaid and a Win7 VM that runs Sab/Sick/Couch/Headphones etc. - MySQL is on the unRaid box for library sharing, and XBMC is also running on the Win7 VM purely so Sick/Couch can update the library as soon as something is downloaded)
- Ensure the VM's virtual video card is allocated enough video memory (I used 128mb, maybe you can get away with less?)
- Ensure the VM's virtual video card has the 3D Graphics - Enable 3D support box checked
- Ensure VMware Tools is installed in the VM, which should install the VMware SVGA 3D (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM) driver
- If VMware Tools doesn't install that driver for some reason, you can manually install it - it will be located in: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VMware\Drivers\wddm_video
The above will allow you to run XBMC initially in Fullscreen only via the vSphere client. Once that's done, you can then start XBMC, switch it into windowed mode, and then it will work via RDP. Hopefully this is of some use for anyone out there that wants to set up something similar!
