Laptops are not generally made for gaming. Also you are using an Intel graphics chip, and I don't think it has the required OpenGL features. Sorry, but you may never be able to play the game.

I'm pretty sure all Computers can run video games.
Like the Alienware MX18s are gaming Laptops. So generally yes, they are made for gaming.

Sure, you can play a lot of old games with most laptops, but that setup you have isn't meant for any of the modern games out there. The Intel graphics just won't cut it for most games. If you had an Nvidia or AMD graphics chip you would be ok.

You can have a look here: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1254667-intel-hd-graphics-driver-update-for-rage/page__p__19123976#entry19123976
I was able to get Rage to run on a Intel Graphs chip with updated drivers. It played but at a low FPS.

Rage just doesn't come on, I go to launch Rage. And a blue console pops up saying

"GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex not available"

» Wed May 16, 2012 5:44 am

Yes, that is a part of the OpenGL system that isn't supported with your graphics.

Did you try updating the driver from the link I left above?

» Wed May 16, 2012 5:27 am

Did you try updating the driver from the link I left above?

yes, already had latest driver installed

» Wed May 16, 2012 1:47 am

Must been because I have the Intel HD chipset that it worked for me with the latest driver.

» Tue May 15, 2012 9:55 pm

yes, already had latest driver installed

Here is a link to the driver I used/installed that let me play Rage on Intel HD Graphic: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=20676
Give it a try, but first make a restore point before installing so you can revert back if there are problems.
