When I hit OK from the "Select Video Card" screen I get the message:

Initialization Failed with -3
mainGR3D_FAILED -1

I am running Win98, AMD XP1700, Nvidia Geforce3 Ti200 (latest Nvidia reference drivers), and DirectX 9 (off the windows update).

Same message regardless of the different video settings I tried at the "Select Video Card" screen.

Tried that too.  Didn't make any difference.

Not sure why they decided to take my post and post it as a reply to bobbert's post.  It doesn't seem to be the same problem.  Different error messages at different stages.

I am having the same problem as frost, when I try to run the Icon, I get this message after the video options...

"Initialization Failed with -3
mainGR3D_FAILED -1"

I noticed that no video cards are available for selection in the top window of the video options screen.

I am using an NVIDIA Gforce 2 Ultra 64 MB, driver: 2.9.5.8, 7/2/2001

I hope this helps you guys at HTC, keep up the good work!
