The hp dv6 uses an Intel HD4500 video accelerator, which does not meet Houdini's minimum specification for graphics. You can try to work around this by using software OpenGL instead, by entering the following environment variable into Vista's environment variables dialog (Control Panel, System and Maintenance, System, Advanced System Settings, Environment Variables):

Variable name: HOUDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE
Variable value: 1

Hope that helps.
