Or.. update your video drivers to make sure they are OpenGL compatible.

Should solve your problem.

Yeah...what video card are you using? Try getting the latest drivers if it's an nVidia (geforce) card or ATI (radeon)card. If it's something ati before radeon there's a good chance that it won't work. You might need a new card.
