Uwe,
  Can you send me the screenshot1.jpg? It didn't seem to be attached
to your original email. Which NVIDIA driver version are you using on
your machine? For VMD 1.8.7, I would recommend that people run the
recent 185.xx series drivers available from the NVIDIA web site.
I belive the Quadro FX 3450 is too old of a card for CUDA, but
it should still work fine otherwise. We have a couple of these in
our lab and they work fine, although we run them under Linux.

Cheers,
  John Stone
