There's your problem... you need an OpenGL compatible card.

check your comp settings in control panel properties or right click the desktop to see your vid-card specs

we're gonna need a make/model if we're gonna fix this

If you have on board video and the card isn't compatible, you can fix it by getting a new video card.  You could get a cheap one for like 50 bucks and would support openGL

More like get a cheap one for $10 if it's just for DP, I can pick up a radeon 7000 for £5 at tri-computers.

Never knew that card were that cheap.  Last I looked on Newegg when I was in the process of building my computer, the cheapest was $19.95 or something.

You can pick up a cheap-o one at Walmart too if you have one near you Vinnie.

$10...

Selling crack works too.

Pretty much anything, it should all work, and for that price it's guaranteed to be AGP

Oh excrement, laptop.

Do what flame has been saying: Find out the make of your video card (run -> 'dxdiag') and install the newest drivers by googling the manufacturer.
