manager says everything is working properly & no conflicts

Have you looked at the event viewer for any other clues? This error sounds
like it is referring to your display adapter. My guess is the emulation
mode is a 3D emulation. Do you have directx9 installed? Look for display
driver updates.

Go to the DELL site and get (at a minimum) their driver for your video card.
Very likely you will need their driver for the Motherboard chipset.
