Go to your manufacturer's website and download the drivers for your video card.

But your best bet would be to install XP. ;)

If the computer has an ATI video card that also is probably the problem, so ditch the video card and buy an NVIDIA. :)

In my experience, ATI laptops are the worst things ever. Drop and run.

OR

Update drivers.

You should be able to get it to work with a proper driver update.

Unless, of course, your video card manufacturer really sucks.

Who is the manufacturer of your computer? Have you tried getting drivers from their site? For me nVidia told me to go over to Dell and get the drivers.

Try doing a Windows Update.

j/k Your computer will be really intercoursed up then. :)

I'd try contacting their customer support about getting OpenGL capable drivers.  Also see if they have any forums or similar things where you can ask for help.  I know Dell does.  I'm not sure about Fujitsu.
