The video hardware can't do 3D.  You could try updating the video driver.

Yeah, that is almost certainly a video card driver issue.  Do you have your video card drivers installed (not the default ones that Windows gives you, but the real ones from the GPU vendor)?  Do you know what kind of video card you have in that system?

I can help you find out if not.

Did you try updating the driver? 

Did you try the manufacturer?  We would be happy to assist them.

Sorry.  I missed your reply.  Download GPU-Z here: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1864/TechPowerUp_GPU-Z_v0.4.6.html

Double click on the EXE that you just downloaded.  The program runs directly from that EXE (there is no installer or anything).

When the program opens, tell me what it says in the Name field at the top of the Graphics card tab.
