I get this exception in my application. I have found links discussing it on the web but nothing indicating how to track it down and/or workaround it.

Please do not reply with links from the internet. Please reply with strategies of tracking the source. Please reply with workarounds if you found them.

This is old, but I will answer anyways, since I had the same issue that I just resolved.https://stackoverflow.com/a/18003004/1415307

Basically, my issue with this error came down to an outdated video card driver. After updating to the newest driver, the issue has been resolved.
