I tried my other pc and it still has the same prob. I do have windows 7 with a i3 core. (this is my newest computer)

Would help to know what video card you have, or failing that, the make/model of your PC or laptop. That error has nothing to do with your OS or CPU.

Start Steam, go to Steam in upper left corner, click on it, click on update amd drivers

Worked for me

Ineedhelp9530, I am sorry to inform you that your current graphic card(Intel? Graphics Media Accelerator HD) does not support the OpenGL 3.1, which is required to run the game. The Intel? Graphics Media Accelerator HD is an integrated solution and as such not viable for more demanding games such as Brink.
Your only solution is to switch to a desktop computer with the correct hardware or upgrade your laptop.
