Can't you contact your manufacturer and get them to help you get updates? I've never bought a non-custom PC before so I'm not really sure how it works, but I can't imagine they'd just never let you update your PC..
You're machine is definitely capable of playing the game- lots of people with the same graphics card can play no problem. There is only 1 issue and that is you're video driver is too old (it's about a year behind the current one from Intel) which is down to the laptop manufacturer. As edwood said you should be able to force install the correct up to date driver, it's just going to take a bit more fiddling than normal. Please if possible, try downloading the zip version of the driver, then following the instructions that edwood linked you and post here how you get on. Hopefully between us we'll get you going!
Thanks everyone, but my graphics card recently released an update, I believe, so my laptop can play the game now! thanks for all of the replies and help, anyways.
The game DOESN'T require a dedicated graphics card. Many people run it on integrated graphic. I've also seen screenshots of the game running on low end integrated graphics (although a long time ago). The performance isn't great and there might me missing icons, but it runs.
