This is what I get when I try to start the game. I've tried running it as an admin. but it still doesn't work. I've also tried to run it as Windows XP SP 2, but to no avail.

Any help?

My graphics card is an ATI Radeon Xpress 200m series, with upto date drivers.

It didn't find your Radeon... Is OpenGL enabled on it? (I don't know if it can be disabled in radeon driver)

It's a built in graphics card, I think. Running on a laptop.

jdidds:
Hmm...Opening my graphics card control center, it says this

Is it possible to remedy this?

Destructavator:
I read that you have up-to-date drivers, but are they from Microsoft (Windows Update), or direct from the manufacturer's website?

Sometimes that makes a difference.  I don't know much about that particular video card type or ATI, but I know that with some NVIDIA cards there are substantial changes (as well as performance differences) with some video cards depending on where you get the drivers from.  With ATI I don't know.
