As you can see, im havin problems. Turns out as i read, my driver/graphics r not up to date; so i tried updatin them and well nothin. I tried with Nvidia, with the manufacturer and with everything else i could. I have an Nvidia Geforce G210M and well i have no clue as to how to fix this so i can play awesome Brink. This is wat i get :

try useing the config tool chande the res too 800x600 and update game drivers

Upgrade your graphical drivers to the latest ones available for your graphic card. I've check if your Gpu can support the OpenGL 3.1 and all I got was two different types of information one saying yes and the other one no. Anyway, if after upgrading to the latest drivers you still can't start the game then you will know what the graphic card doesn't support it and you will have to buy a new one.

he's on a laptop

well i tried upgrading my Nvidia and i got a message sayin the following:

This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics driver.

Does that mean that i cant update at all? like i dont get it, it shows that i have Nvidia and all that, I play WoW and Rift and not a single problem. Hell, i have badass graphics, yet i try to run Brink and it tells me this and causes me aggravation.

So where can i find the config tool? maybe tru there i can find more. And why change the resolution? anyway, i appreciate the help. So if i cant upgrade the Nvidia graphics/driver that i have, does that mean that im literally effed and i will have to buy a new one? cause i so cant afford one right now -__- and this is just waaaaaay to much hazzle just to play Brink. Yes is an awesome game but cmon...

Thanks for the help,
Phantom

you should try your laptop's manufacturer site for driver updates, the stock nVidia ones won't always work on laptops, manufacturers use modified drivers

I checked and the last update is from 2009 x__X i updated anyways and i still cant launch Brink Dx so therefore im technically and literally effed. Great... thanks for the help.

Did you uninstall the old driver first? And what about your motherboard driver - when was that last updated?

i havent uninstalled anythin. U think if i uninstall it will help? my knowledge on this matter is startin to reach its limit... anywho, it would b awesome if u could give me some guidelines as to how uninstall it and install a new one and tru where and how. Also, theres no motherboard on this laptop.

Thanks,
Phantom

Not uninstalling a driver could lead to complications. Data from the previous driver might be conflicting with the new one...it's hard to say. What I normally do is:

1. Control panel > uninstall programs

2. Find the driver and uninstall it. If it isn't listed as Nvidia, it should be listed as something along the lines of "video driver" or "display driver"

3. Go through program files after uninstalling it (probably have to restart first) and look for anything "Geforce" related then delete it

4. Run http://downloads.guru3d.com/Guru3D---Driver-Sweeper-%28Setup%29_d1655.html and pick NVIDIA-display then clean up whatever it finds

5. Install new driver


And your laptop has to have a mother board because that is what all of your hardware gets plugged into. The drivers for that are probably listed under the manufacturers name or something.

EDIT: WHOA, HOLD UP "FATAL ERROR: The current video card / driver combination does not support OpenGL 3.1 or newer." G210m's do not support OpenGL 3.1 (only 2.1) according to NVIDIA's http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_g210m_us.html and you need that to run this game. A driver isn't going to fix that, you need a whole new card :cryvaultboy:
