With yours, the 3 things I see I have seperated above. The first section shows a problem with your DirectX 9 installation. This is a common failure I have noticed between these 2 logs and my own system. The second section has me bugged. You said D had you update drivers. WHich one, because your video driver shows that it is from August, 2004. This one should really be updated. The last part just shows the standard stuff, and you said you tried disabling the AV, so there should not be a problem in that area.

You should seriously consider updating your video driver. Since this is a laptop (The 360M designated a Mobile device), you would need to update the driver from the manufacturer's website, rather than nvidia (though you could try their detect utility). D has a good list of supported video cards and drivers at http://apps.pirates.go.com/pirates/v...s_drivers.html. Let us know if any of the suggestions work, so we can get a good list of solutions together. Good luck.
