Hi Herb,
There is no way to disable the test, and doing so would not solve the problem, because it tests for a known bug in some past Intel graphics drivers. If the thing it tests for were really the cause of the problem, bypassing the test would just delay the hang, probably for just a few milliseconds. But I don't think it is, because a message would be shown.
The 1200W power supply makes inadequate power an unlikely problem - it must keep you warm in winter!
We are thinking about the comment that you have run Topicscape on this PC before (presumably with the same graphics hardware). This makes the specific Win7 driver one possible suspect - we have worked with Intel and Nvidia in the past to identify and test fixed drivers, but have not had to do so for a couple of years. Unfortunately, when we were able to demonstrate a problem with an ATI/AMD driver, they responded that the driver did not support OpenGL (though their hardware spec said it did).
Another possibility is some incompatible software.
The next step will be to try two steps to give us more information.
1. Will you send us some Topicscape logs, please. See:
http://www.topicscape.com/topicscape-wiki/index.php?title=Sending_log_files2. And will you run a full test with GLversion, please, and send the diagnostic file it produces in its deeper test? See:
