I've got the exactly same message...
But which video drivers do you mean? Do you mean the graphic drivers or something other...
I'm not a Computer Freak, i just want to play this game

Well lets see. I have ATI MOBILITY 4650 HD, and apparently it does not support OpenGL 3.1, so what do I do now? And there is no driver update whatsoever.

Anybody?

Any possible way to boot my OpenGL from 3.0 to 3.1?

Or I just have to return teh game?

The really bad part? If you bought the game through steam, you cannot get a refund. Steam does not provide refunds for games through their download.

If that isn't the worst type of way to run an online business as a software retailer, I don't know what is. So, like me and countless others, you are stuck with a non-working 50 dollar empty shell of a game. And you are 50 dollars poorer for your efforts.

You're not alone Mantis. Countless others can't even play the game due to it not even starting up. from what I am realizing after reading and trying so many different things is that the minimum system requirements for this game are nowhere near what they should be. Apparently you need a very high end video card and probably quad core cpu just to run the game.

I've been in contact on the phone with Bethesda at least a dozen times. They have had me try so many things, my head is spinning. As of now they have admitted that they do not have a solution.

Yes video=graphics. If you run an ATI video card, try updating your drivers.
