This might help:

Basically though, update your video driver from the acer website to latest available and try again.

OpenGL 2.0
Release date: September 7, 2004

Get a new laptop and thank me later.  That version of OpenGL is 20 years old now.  I was at a mini using someone else's laptop and was like OMG you guys have no idea how bad this is performing.  No wonder people complain about the experience with the software.
