EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION - please help, hpl.log inside

I'm getting the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error.
I just downloaded the game and I really want to play it. Anybody have an answer?

More potentially neccessary files.

Woah tons of errors in your log. Try updating your drivers.

It would be best to let Thomas answer your question (around Jan 3rd)

It seems the game is using a GeForce 6150 SE as graphics card and that card doesn't support some features the game requires, hence all the follow-up errors that fill the rest of the log ("failed to compile GLSL shader ...".
Sadly, the minimum requirements listed on the Amnesia homepage are very vague, but my guess: Your using an onboard graphics chip from the oldest generation of graphics cards the game supports at all, so chances are that your chip doesn't support some features introduced in that generation the game really needs to run.
Are you using a laptop?
