hi deric, 'fraid it's not anything that you can download. the error is telling you that your current graphics capability is not up to the job. it is possible to upgrade the card if you have the desktop or the microtower version of the 330, but not the 'slim tower'. that is because you will need to use an AGP graphics card to make the game work. you may be using the 'intel extreme 2' onboard graphics which will not run the game. here are the different versions of your system:

the requirements for the game are:

you also need windows xp service pack 3; no problem?
your power supply (240w) should be okay...unless you have the slim tower...no AGP slot and 185w power supply. you should really take advice locally about making these changes; it may not be worthwhile unless you are very poor (join the club). these graphics cards are very old now and it may prove risky to buy a second hand one. good luck mate!

No, it sounds as if you need a "device" which would be a physical thing, instead of a driver. Depending on your budget you might want to look for another PC if you're a gaming addict
A small desktop can have expansion slots, so you can plug in other devices if you need them.
