Something Wrong with OpenGL?

[exciter]

For as long as I can remember, I've had numerous problems with openGl rendering. Especially when it comes to running openGL games such as Amnesia. They run horribly despite the fact that I meet the system requirments. I have Intel HD Graphics with Intel Core i3 m-370 which apparently supports openGL 2.1, but something isn't right. I ran a program called "OpenGL Extensions Viewer" and I get the following error message:

System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected
memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
at openglex.Win32.oevClientInitialize()
atopenglex.oevDetect.backgroundWorker1_DoWork(Object sender,
DoWorkEventArgs e)

I can never decipher these kinds of messages so does anybody know what this means? Thanks!

No offence but you need a GPU. GPU does the required acceleration, so you will see no lag. BTW your system specs please.

I know but it's a laptop so the GPU cannot be changed. Full specs:

Hp Pavilion G6-1c75ca
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel Core i3-m370
Intel HD GRaphics
6Gb RAM
750Gb Harddrive

Intel graphics is well known for poor openGL support.

So is this error message anything to suggest something is wrong, or is it simply lack of effort on Intel's part?

The Intel graphics is not to strong to handle OpenGL for modern games thus the error occurred.

Alright, I'll just have to live with it then.
