janthenat,
Both John & JW have the correct idea -
(1) The 945G on-board video graphics aren't listed as supported for
AutoCAD 2009 (and verticals). Some of your CERs are crashing in the
Intel graphics and OpenGL drivers. You can try to get newer drivers,
since there's no list of supported drivers for this hardware anyway.
Second, you can try turn down the graphics acceleration through Windows
which might help, at the cost of graphics performance.
(2) More importantly version information in your CERs seems to indicate
you may not actually have Update 2.1 installed properly. Please check
App menu > Help > About > Product Information... does it say Version
3.1? In any case, I would repair/reinstall before going any further.
