graphics problems not solved by dedicated thread

[formoylhalide]

If nothing of the above answers your questions and you need to open a new topic then you must answer in these questions when you first post it:

1. What operating system do you have? Also 32-bit or 64-bit?
Windows 7 32-bit
2. Is it a laptop or a desktop? If a laptop, what model?
It's a portable computer, a Dell XPS M2010 with ATI Radeon X1800
3. Attach me here the file HPL.log found under Documents\Amnesia\Main folder.
OK
I downloaded the demo from steam. Windows tells me my graphics drivers are up to date. I tried installing the legacy-driver software here (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/wi...ng=English) -- both bundle and individual -- and they crashed before they were of any use.

I've got an experienced gamer friend who pointed me here, where I read and followed the advice on the general graphics problems thread -- I'm not an experienced gamer, I just want to play Amnesia and I downloaded Steam today to do that and only that. I'm at the end of my rope. The hpl.log file looks pretty bad to my eyes.
