Looks like your videocard (and whole PC too) is outdated. :ugeek:

Oh.. that sucks... but Unity 3D works on my computer fine. Game Maker does as well... so I don't get it...

unsurprising, since Algodoo is not made in Game Maker, or Unity 3D, and therefore has different requirements from either of these two software

I even have shader 3.0 support, so I guess my PC is just outdated.

Algodoo uses openGL in order to support most operating systems, while Unity3D is probably set to use DirectX by default.

openGL has the issue where one vendors implementation of the standard isn't exactly the same as the others, and the number of openGL versions in use ranges vastly. Check my sticky in the Help/Bug section of the forums if you want to read more about the issue, however best thing I can really suggest is to look into getting a new computer and throwing that one in a museum!
When asking for help, READ THE STICKIES!
