Labview demo error . . . HELP

The Serial Communication vi "LabVIEW<->Serial" under I/O Interfaces causes
the program to crash with the error:

Failure: "E:\lv45\mgsource\textmgr.c", line 3651
LabVIEW version 5.0

What am I doing wrong or how can I fix it?

Thanks,

This crash is almost certainly related to a bug in your video driver--LabVIEW
is great at exposing errors in the extent to which video drivers comply with
their rendering specifications, and NI support folks have found that the
Creative Labs Graphic Blaster card/driver caused a lot of these errors (see
KnowledgeBase entry 1G2HG523 on the NI site).

Your best bet for immediate relief is to disable hardware acceleration on your
machine. A better long-term solution would be to get an updated video card
driver from your
manufacturer's Web site.
