Default Pixel Shader 1.1 problems...

Right,

I have just installed Lego Star Wars on my laptop and I get one of two outcomes whenever I try to load it, either this message:



Or I get a BSOD if any other applications are running when I try to load it.

However, when I go to play another game, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, I get these details before the game loads:



Is there any way of finding out which of these is right? How do I find out if I do indeed have Pixel Shader 1.1 support?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as practically no games are working on my laptop and I don't know why because it's brand new and relatively high spec..

Thanks :/

Oh, and, what happens if I want to upgrade my graphics card?

I am on a Sony VAIO CR11S series and the graphics card is a Intel Media Accelerator X3100, which as far as I know is embedded into the motherboard..

Is there any possible way I could improve my graphics card at all without buying a new laptop? :S

I would guess that the game doesn't recognize your integrated graphics and no there is no way of upgrading your graphics without buying a new lappy

I'd stick to desktops for games.
