Any help at all is appreciated

Use imageshack http://imageshack.us/ Upload your picture, wait a bit and close any popups that appear. On the left hand side there will be a field called link - click the code next to that, and copy it. Paste that code into a message here and type [img]and[/img] before and after it, like this

[img]mypicturehere.jpg[/img]

Thats how to put a picture on here

That is horrific, can you give us what stdout.txt and stderror.txt contains? (they're right next to the binaries)

i can play fallout 3, mass effect on low.

They're not really in the same ballpark as sandbox, You'll want to look at things like nexuiz, xonotic, sauerbraten, red eclipse; Things that use OpenGL.

AGGGH! what!

thats... unlike anything ive seen before

(totally my fault with the image thing - I forgot you need to choose direct link not just to where it says link - my bad)

o about the openGL thing i have used opengl games like some old star wars game and a few other really old games.

just so you know i really really want this to work cos i wanna get a career in games and i think this should help me a bit.
i could use a desktop but its really slow and will probly die trying to play this.
should i try use the .bat file in a compatability mode cos im pretty sure i had to with the openGL games.
