Check the following registry key:#

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\DCI
Timeout REG_DWORD Value: 0x00000007

If your setting is 0x00000000 change it to its default (7) and 3d should
work.

I had this once. On my system the reason was the remote-software
REMCON PC-Duo which did not re-set this key to its default when
uninstalling.
