Providing more detail in your post may help us fix the problem. System specs would be helpful and also a list of things you've tried.

@Cmrichter2 what graphics card if any do you have? Also what operating system are you running and is it 32 or 64bit?

Someone else had what sounds like a similar problem and it was most likely because they are using intergrated graphics and not a standalone GPU.
