What does this mean? It was on a computer running Windows XP. I think it may have an onboard video card, which would probably be the reason, but I'm not sure if that's the case.

Fool Running

The problem is likely from bad graphics drivers. Take a look at http://lwjgl.org/forum/index.php/topic,2888.0.html for an option. But don't expect it to run fast. :P
Programmers will, one day, rule the world... and the world won't notice until its too late.Just testing the marquee option ;D
