Windows is generally not my area, but pix_video captures from a video source
like a DV camera, webcam or digitizer board, and usually has nothing to do with
your GPU (ATI All-in-one might be the exception).  Do you have any video source
for pix_video to use?

I think you can safely ignore that error.  Only the teapot used/uses GLUT.
