This seems a problem with your graphic card and OpenGL.
Try starting GiD without OpenGL acceleration
To do it reset your user settings and set 'Activate Software OpenGL' as explained in this F.A.Q.
http://www.gidhome.com/documents/faqgid ... references
You can also run an alternative version of GiD that uses the 'Mesa' graphics library (software also) instead of OpenGL
in the Windows GiD folder there is a file named 'gid_offscreen.vbs' that start this alternative version (the name 'offscreen' is because it allow to run GiD without any window and create image files offscreen)

I don't know whether your solution was good for the OP or not, but I am certain that it was good for me! I had the same problem and starting GiD without OpenGL acceleration helped me. Thanks!
