Second Life and GDI generic with ATI x800

I am wondering if this is a Vista, ATI, or Second Life question so I'm
posting it to all three. I wanted to see how Vista supports games so I
installed Second Life. When I try to run it gives me the following error.

Your Video card appears to be a GDI Generic, which Second Life does not
support.

It then goes on to explain what kind of video card it needs (which mine is
supported in XP). I have the latest ATI catalyst drivers, but I'm not sure if
it might be how Vista reports the video card to the running program. I have
also tried running it with administrator privilages and in XP compatability
mode, with no change in symptoms.
 
Tony,

I got the same message with an Invidia GEForce 5700. Am trying to find out
what to do
