    They must not be the correct drivers for that card. Do you know the exact make and model of your video card?

    Your laptop would have a totally different video card/chipset.

    You'll need a more up-to-date system to run it.

    But the laptop has a diff video chipset. Find out what that is and see if they have updated drivers. Anyone running Win7 runs the risk of not having drivers that match some of their devices; it's the same with any pre-release of a new OS.
