Bug "DX Call Error"

Bug

from Stardock Forums

I was in Elemental 1.19a , in the game screen looking at installed mods.  I alt-tabbed out to use Mozzila Firefox, then as I tried to re-enter game I got the error, something similar to "DX Call Error".

From Control Panel\System and Security\Action Center\Problem Details AND Control Panel\System and Security\Action Center\Reliability Monitor .  First time using this in Win 7, much better way of viewing system issues than the Xp/Vista way.

I hit this exact Error back in the 1.11 beta phase. Thought it had been worked out.. maybe its driver related IDK.
