I tried to update the video driver, but it still crashes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the DXDIAG information.

Can you send the crash report?

Thanks for being willing to help me!!

Do you mean this:

I will give that a shot - thanks!! I'll post how it works for me.

According to that site, catalyst 15.7 does not list the Radeon 2100 graphics card (which is in my machine). Will this still work?

I installed a version of catalyst that supposedly works with the Radeon 2100. The software installed. But Windows is still using the old drivers. I tried to use the device manager to change it to the new driver but it told me that Windows says the best driver is already installed. Any ideas of what to do next?

Search the forums. I have seen many posts about the same thing.

I have been searching, but I am unable to figure this out. Help please!

It is a problem with your openGL, your graphics card might not support OpenGL 2.1.

I am not sure if there is a way to fix this, but there is probably some obscure program or driver for it.
