Can anybody shed any light on the above error? I\'ve tried with both Express and Ultimate editions of VS 2013.

I\'m running 64-bit Windows 7.

If the other solutions in this thread didn't help try updating your graphics drivers. I wasn't getting an error like above, but I couldn't click options in the create new project window.

I had installed uninstalled and reinstalled VS 2013 professional, premium and express multiple times, but in the end it was getting my latest graphics drivers, the beta release, that caused this issue to go away.

I'm running Windows 8.1 (with the new update), and Radeon HD7850.
