Graphics card on netbook help

Hi
I recently dropped DS1's netbook, had the screen and hardrive replaced.
He's just tried to reinstall the LEGO digital designer and it comes up with a message saying:
OpenGL was not found on your system or your version is outdated. Please download and install the latest drivers for your graphics card

Can someone please shed any light on this?

    Drivers can be found via here Click 'Drivers' on the right, choose the OS and hit 'Search'.

    It's the Intel Display Driver. I rather imagine that you might need a few more Drivers from the list.
  • Thank you.

    How did you manage to re-install Windows 7 Starter?

    The computer will either have:

    a) A recovery partition on the hard drive that can be accessed by following instructions in the user manual.

    b) using the CD's that may have come with the computer when it was first purchased.

    or c) Using the recovery disks the computer would have nagged you to make when you first got it.

    Any of those methods should enable an installer that will reinstall windows :)
    If at first you don't succeed; do something else.

    I know how to do it.
    I was asking the OP as to how they did it...as the HDD was replaced.
