What GPU do you have? Have you tried updating the driver?

My graphics driver: Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset
My drivers are up to date

Core 2 Duo is OLD. You really need to upgrade your pc.

We can't support opengl 2.0 in lazer, so the above advise is the best we can provide for now. Your hardware is almost 2 decades old.

More support may be added down the line via angle/directx, though.
