	You can use the ML archive to search for answer to this question, I 
tried a google search and I get:

Issue:

wglCreateContext failed, Error code = 1114


Solution:

Error 1114 means dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine 
failed. Most likely what failed is the OpenGL.dll.


This may be an issue with your graphics card/driver. Please make sure 
you have
a qualified card and drivers, as listed in 
[1]http://www.alias.com/qual_charts.

We have seen this error occur with customers who were using compressed
drives under Windows XP.
