Just select your operating system and download it.

what kind of video card does this bad boy have? I'd also try to upgrade those drivers to the latest from ATI's or NVid's website. Often the Microsoft provided vid drivers suck donkey dick.

Your video card isn't very good, and you might experience a crash or a lockup later in the game.

Because your computer can't handle it?

Yep, sounds like your graphics card is not going to do very well.

What kind of settings are you using? Go into the options in the game and change your video settings to low/medium. You have an onboard video card which are not very good for games. You will be able to play, but not with high video settings.
