Caio,
  Glad your system works now. I think I've talked to 4 other people this
week that had buggy video drivers causing serious problems like this.
Thankfully, all of them were solved by updating to the newest driver versions.
I've added more text about this to the VMD Windows release notes for others
that eventually encounter the same issues. It's apparently more common
than I originally thought.

  John
