For any Wireless penetration testing task my choice has always been Linux OS because many powerful Tools esp. Aircrack, Kismet run on Linux. Linux also has a very good support(drivers) for vast number of wireless cards.

Windows is not piece of cake but some notable wireless networks penetration tools that I know are:

Network Stumbler a.k.a NetStumbler – This Windows based tool easily finds wireless signals being broadcast within range
inSSIDer is an free Wi-Fi network scanner for Windows Vista and Windows XP.
Wireshark

I have never used Aircrack on Windows, so I have no idea about the performance, compatibility or support for various cards. Would like to hear from some one who has used aircrack on Windows

I'd recommend that you take a look at the BackTrack forum. It's a very active community and some there have had similar problems.

Probably driver issues. Have you tried the different graphics modes, from the boot menu, if booting the liveCD?
