Agreed. Windows is telling you that your graphics hardware doesn't support Pixel Shader 2.0. (Willing to wager that you have Intel GMA 900 onboard graphics; those were notorious for that and made a lot of Windows Vista owners very upset.)
If you have a desktop, the solution is to buy a discrete video adapter card. A good one will say on the box what video effects it supports, like PS 2.0. If you have a laptop, there's really no help for it, as the graphics chip is built into the motherboard.
It's a physical hardware issue. It means you need a new graphics card to play it. Nothing anyone can do for you online will fix it.
i'm sorry but i dont think this will help, i had the same problem, i just got a better video card, i'm pretty sure that will fix it for u, but i have no idea. (worked for me.. for $100)
