Re: Help ME Help
What GPU do you have installed in the system?
It is possible that your graphics card doesn't support OpenGL shaders (OpenGL 2.0 Minimum if I remember correctly), and thus will not run algodoo.
Otherwise, attempt to update the drivers of your GPU.
Otherwise, you will need to upgrade your PC with a new GPU (appx £30 for a budget GPU).

Re: Help ME Help
a GPU is the processor that is used to display images and text upon your screen.
Open Control panel, (small icon view) --> Admin tools --> Computer Management
Open the "Device Manager" from the side-panel.
open the header "Display Adaptors", in theory, that should tell you what GPU you have install in your system (or at least a generic name of it).
And, I've just took a quick look on best-buy, and the same card I have right now is there for $32, which is the
"ATI Radeon HD 5450", not exactly a great card for gaming, but it gets the job done rather well with algodoo.
I bought the card a few year ago on a small sale, and by now, i reckon you might be able to pick something of better spec for not much more cost.
If you have a desktop PC, the upgrade is possible, however if you're on a laptop, an upgrade is usually impossible.
