Sorry but I'm not sure what kind of video card I have. I've never had problems with it before.

Okay, that tells me you are probably pretty far behind on graphics drivers. Click on start, then right click on Computer and go to properties. Click on Device Manager and then click the arrow next to Display Adapters. It will show up there.

Ouch. That means you have the IntelĀ® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500, see here.

There is very very little support from game companies for the Intel graphics chips, unfortunately. :(

Trust me, it makes our job more difficult.

Well, we've had very little luck due to that when it comes to those crappy chips. They are really designed for minimal acceleration, expected to do little more than Win 7 Aero effects, because the laptop designers can get them for cheap and basically are targetting those machines for people that mostly surf, mess with pictures, or watch videos. :(

They can run simple games even though there will be a loss of frame rate. I haven't tried but I would guess they could run Minecraft and simplistic graphics like the Half Life 2 engine games and WoW (which uses very few polygons compared to many games.)
