I have the same issue on my machine (running Windows XP SP2). It seems
to be an issue with QA on some machines with particular video cards
(mine is an NVIDIA GeForce4 420). I researched this issue some time back
and found an article on MSDN (I did not remember the link). There is a
fix for this issue but to get the fix you need to call Microsoft *and*
if they find out that the issue is caused due to a problem with the
graphics card - they will issue the fix and not charge you for the
support incident. Apparently this is the case as the fix is still
undergoing testing and has not yet been released as a hot fix.
I did not bother calling MS as I did not want to go through the trouble
of calling support, etc., etc. and I am just going to wait for the fix
to be available. I just go to Task Manager after closing QA to make sure
that the isqlw.exe is not still running.
Note: This is an issue only if you have Windows XP with SP2 (I am not
sure about Windows 2003). I did not have this issue before installing
SP2 for Windows XP. QA worked fine then.
