Windows 7? Isn't that still in Beta? Finding answers when using this oS will probably be hard at this point. I would suggest looking through the solutions for Vista and see if any of those solve the problem.

Looks like a framework problem or something of that nature. You really want my advice? Install XP. I don't know what else to tell you.

This looks like a DirectX problem/incompatability to me.
Try turning off hardware accelleration.

I experienced similar video issues the first time I tried to run it on Windows7 (beta build 7000, same as you). But I tabbed out and there was a lot of UAC and firewall stuff open, like "allow UO to access the internet, etc.) Once I allowed everything and run UO again, it worked fine.

So my advice is to make sure you allow all the exceptions for UO that you can. Or turn of UAC and windows firewall completely and see if that helps.
