Please can someone help.

I have purchased minecraft for my daughter but my computer wont run it for some reason. I have checked my drivers which say they are up to date. I have been onto intel website but it says it cant update drivers and i need to speak to computer maunfacturer.

The graphics card i have on the laptop is Mobile Intel (r) 945 express chipset family. I am also running windows vista home premium

my processor is Intel core TM2 CPU, Memory 2.00 GB, 32 bit operating system.

Not sure what more info i can provide. If someone can help it would be brilliant. I open the minecraft launcher, and get a black screen. I can hear sounds so somethings working, but nothing comes up on the screen.

Sony  - can you help, or am i going to be forced to purchase another laptop?

thanks
