Help: Running OBS on Old PC

Hey all - I have OBS downloaded and running as administrator, but still can't get anything to record other than a black screen. I have read multiple posts with suggestions and tried several different settings both on my computer and OBS. I am absolutely helpless when it comes to PC stuff... Please take a look at my log below and let me know how I can get recording (or if that's possible).
