A dxdiag log would be helpful.

dxdiag
Windows XP: Go to your start menu and click on run. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter
Windows Vista / 7: Press the windows key on your keyboard or click on the start menu. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter.

Now click on the button that says "save all information".
It will prompt you to save a file. Save it where you can find it.

Then zip the file and attach it to a reply in this Thread.

You have the same problem as the other guy one thread further down. The same old driver for the same GPU.

neither of those drivers will install properly... says does not meet minimum requirements which is rediculous... got to have a 5 thousand dollar computer to play monkey island.. back in the day you could have a piece of crap and play 1, 2 and 3. ha.. appreciate the help though

Did you try it this way to install the latest Intel driver from the zip file?
It should bypass the manufacturer check, so you're not depending on them to validate and release drivers for your notebook model.

If that doesn't work, instead of the Dell driver linked in my quote you should try what sony provides.

when i tried to manually install the driver it comes back to say "windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date".... on the sony website... which would you recommend...
