Can't start amnesia!

[Soulspliff]

Hi everyone,


i'm having a hard time trying to play amnesia.

I HAVE looked through the support thread and i know there are a lot of people with the same problem but i've tried everything i know or found but i can't manage it.

So the game detects my graphical card as "GDI Generic" instead of "ATI RadeonHD 4570".

i'm getting the Amnesia.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCES_VIOLATION in module unknown at 001B:00000000
and the game wont load. I Have tried the following:

-I went in to the device manager but i could only find my ATI card i can't seem to find that GDI Generic in the hardware section so i think that's ok?

-I have updated my driver put it doesn't make any difference and i don't know if i have an integrated card (i think the ati is the integrated one?) so i can't update those.


- i've read this :3) Enter the control panel for the graphics card and set the proper (non-integrated) card as the preffered device to use. Here is how it looks for a user(nvidia): http://frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-...l#pid34691

but i can't find my graphics card in the control panel.

my hpl.log is:
