Error: Could not create D3D10 device and swap chain.  This error can happen for one of the following reasons:

1.) You're using an old or unsupported GPU (some laptop GPUs can also have this issue)
2.) You're running windows vista without the "Platform Update"
3.) I screwed something up somewhere

Your graphics card is built into your motherboard, and it doesn't fully support DirectX 10. You would need a discrete graphics card, which you can't just go out and get for a laptop.

Oh my mistake, I assumed it was a laptop because this problem happens most often with laptops. You should be able to buy a modern graphics card and use that instead.
