Paintball not working WINDOWS VISTA

[broesb4hoes]

Yesterday my Windows Vista PC was running Paintball 2 perfectly. I come home and try to play it again but this time it crashes on startup and shows an error message:



PLEASE HELP ME! I can't play Paintball anymore.

Please don't just suggest vague things like update video card drivers etc. because I don't have enough money to go down to the store and pay for an expensive videocard.

I was not doing ANYTHING to cause the error message besides installing Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (don't see how that'd cause a problem)

OS: Windows Vista (Business)

You don't have to buy a new card to update your drivers.  You should be able to just download them from the manufacturer's site.  What video card do you have?

My video card is: Intel(R) Q965/Q963 Express Chipset Family

I've had a look around for the downloads but I'm not that good with computers.

Edit: In response to the first reply, I've already reinstalled twice and still have the same problem.

Also, is this why other games such as Portal won't work for me? I've been hearing the term "Opengl" around and I have no idea where to get it or how to download it.

Cheers

Is this a desktop computer? If yes here is the link to get an update: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17297&ProdId=2529&lang=eng (NOTE: This is a zip!)

For the exe version (not the zip file) go here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17298&ProdId=2529&lang=eng

I hope I helped

Oh and if you need any more help, don't hesitate to ask!
