Your graphics card is below requierments and not capable of running the game.
RE: Need Help there - kangfu21 - 11-22-2012
so what do i do?
RE: Need Help there - Kreekakon - 11-22-2012
You're going to need a computer with better hardware I'm afraid. That's pretty much the only way.

Integrated cards don't work

@TheBlastPassage
What do you mean??

BTW here's the new hpl.log

They stated your graphics card is incapable of running the game, which means you're probably going to have to upgrade and get a better one. Did you try playing the demo before you decided to buy the game?

To explain the problem further:
Your computer does not have a graphics card. What you are using is either a chipset, or shared graphics.
A chipset is: A chip that is physically soldered on to your computers motherboard. Those are very weak and can't run 90% of modern games.
Shared Graphics: Are when your computer uses a combonation of RAM and CPU(Processor) to handle display.
You need a real graphics card which will usually plug into your computers PCIe express or something like that.
That should give you a better understanding of your problem.
