It seems to me that you guys might have an issue with your graphics card/display adapter. Make sure you have both of your cards updated and that they fall in the minimum requirements.

The first thing you need to know before attempting to download new graphics card drivers is which type of card you have. There are typically two companies who manufacture graphics cards; nVIDIA and ATI. Once you have found what type of card you have, you can then download the drivers located at:

Outspark Drivers Page ( http://www.outspark.com/sos/downloads/drivers
)

NOTE: All current graphics card drivers are now packaged with the most current version of OpenGL. There is no need to seek it once you have downloaded and installed your graphics card driver.

I have listed below the steps to find what type of graphics card you have, and also for future reference any other specific spec of your computer.

1. Press “Start”
2. Click “Run”
3. Type “DxDiag” and press enter

Don't forget to check out the minimum requirements for our games as well:

I got it working now, just had to update my video graphic driver, which took awhile to get it to actually take effect. Anyhow, thanks cretz for the suggesting the driver as a problem.
