    Your PC does not meet the minimum requirements for both the video card and system memory. Since your video card uses system memory it is taking 32mb from your 128mb to run the game, leaving windows with the rest. Since you have a notebook; upgrading the video card usually isn't possible, and while it might be possible to upgrade your system memory, it would be costly, so you might be better off buying a new system.

    edit] I just looked up your laptop and it seems that some models had 512MB of system memory. Can you please give me some more specific details about your configuration?

    He might try running the game at a lower resolution, that might help a little.
