Right, think i've got it.. It was crashing trying to print an error log from the vertex shader load failing, but there was no error log. Root of that is that the wife's laptop didnt have an up to date version of directX. Assuming the same is true for you, you might find updating from :

http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download ... aspx?id=35

fixes things. If not, the vid card may not be capable of 2.0 format shaders - I'll work on making it compatable with slightly older setups.
Meantime, i've prepared:

which shouldn't crash even if the shader load fails or an older DirectX is used. No pretty water for you in that case tho.

Could you let me know if either route fixes things?
