Given that it has worked several times previously and that driver updates appear to have at least temporarily resolved this in the past, and that nobody else seems to have encountered this particular problem, I'm afraid it appears to be system specific. We're not able to duplicate the issue here so it's virtually impossible to track it down. However it does seem like the point at which it's failing may be just before certain OpenGL (graphics system) calls are made, in which case - as already appeared to be the case - it is probably related to your graphics card.
I definitely think you should look into your hardware and software configuration and make sure there are no other problems. You could try turning down Graphics Acceleration in the graphics card driver, or turning off Aero if you're on Vista and it's enabled. You might even try reverting to a previous driver revision. You might also consider reporting it to your graphics card vendor. If nothing else, hopefully another future driver update will resolve it.
