Seems to be a driver issue, check nvidia.com for a new driver for your graphics chip and operating system, then download and install it.

Then the graphics chip might not be able to run the game.

The netbook is new from yesterday and i first install penumbra without updating drivers, and it appeared an error "Penumbra Overture Could not set displaymode in 640x420" and penumbra minimize. But when i maximized, the game run ok. Since I installed new drivers, the error hasn't appeared but i can only see black screen :/

Make sure you have this installed:

Do you also have an Intel embedded graphics card?

If a previous driver worked, then just downgrade, even if it means playing on a really low resolution.
