HLSL problem is solved, I was missing the DirectX End User Runtime SDK. Thanks!

-switchres still blows up for me, though. If I leave the resolution set to "auto" and launch, say, Pacman, it picks 640x480@70hz, and that seems to work more often than not. If I force a specific resolution (800x600@85 in this case), it crashes every time.

Verbose output from a crash doesn't seem to show much:
