    Check my signature ;)

    Also you really mean you have this card?
    It's 7 yeard old and probably just don't have support for technologies game use. I think I need to check it.

    Please download and run this executable:
    https://freetype-gl.googlecode.com/svn-history/r199/trunk/windows/glew/bin/glewinfo.exe
    It's should create glewinfo.txt, upload it here please.

    This is strange. According to Nvidia website this card should have OpenGL 3 support, but glewinfo.txt show it's missing.

    This is strange, but anyway even if might start you have no chance to get any playable frame rate on 7+ years old card. Probably it's time to get new computer.

    Why did you removed attachments? They are useful for developers...

    I'm re-upload glewinfo to be sure that we know this card capabilities.

    If you consider upgrade you probably might buy more RAM as well, 8GB will be useful for this game.
    It's depends on how much you can spend.

    But if there no strict limit in price, then AMD HD7950 or Nvidia GTX 660 ti.
    Also check that you have proper power supply for such card.
