if the computer showed a BSOD then it is definitely a driver issue. Most probably audio or video.

How do you even do that?
And why would it be out of date when all my other games are more advanced, and work fine?
I just bought this computer, too; around the start of september.
WTF is up with this game?! i really want to play it!

This game uses OpenGL and not DirectX. Most games, use DirectX and so older or current low end cards can not properly support such games. Use this to check for newer drivers, I hope it works:

It said something about my computer not having the required graphics adapter. ARGH. I thought this was top notch graphics! Now what?

we need to find drivers. What laptop model do you have exactly? and what operating system?

It would appear that you're going to need to be more specific than that: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pag...g=en&cc=us

CPU-Z or AIDA32 might be able to give you more information. It may also be written somewhere under your laptop.
