do other (non spring) games work?
I would guess it says update your graphic cards drivers, not the card?

To find the name of your card click and "start" -> run and paste
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\devmgmt.msc
press enter.
That will launch the hardwaremonitor thing or whatever its called on english windows. There look at graphic card.

Then google name+drivers or go to companies homepage.

I believe the problem is that your graphics card is a very low end integrated with little OGL support.

either what neddie said, or you use a too old driver.
it seems to me, that the rest of your system is too good for even an onboard card this shitty... i could be wrong though.

Or you have graphics acceleration disabled in your system for some reason...
