I already tried the troubleshooting guide and couldn't fix the error.. help please

Hello everyone, before i continue i already checked the graphics cards guide for my error.. but its a Little more specific. I recently purshased the Humble Bundle V in which amnesia its included. Actually i wasn't much interested in it as i was in bastion and limbo, but somedays ago a friend came and show Amnesia to me and we played for some hours in the night.. and i was scared, and i like it .. so i tried to install the game in my laptop but when i try to play i get the "GDI" error.. and i know maybe my OS isn't yet compatible with the game or i don't know.. i have Windows 8 Release Preview 64 bits with the latest Drivers from NVIDIA, my laptop its a Vaio F110FL with an NVIDIA GeForce 330m and here is the content of the hpl.log

¡Saludos desde México y gracias amigos!

Your computer is using the wrong video card (Probably an Intel one that is in your PC). Try updating the drivers for your NVIDIA card.

I already installed the newest drivers for my card for Windows 8 64 bits, but still nothing.. im thinking that maybe it is because the drivers are for the Windows 8 consumer preview and im using the latest Windows 8 Release Preview.. but still.. i can do everything else fine with my nvidia card. its only Amnesia the one who gives me trouble.

but still.. thanks for your answer my friend i really appreciate it

There is probably no or broken OpenGL support in the drivers for Windows 8 at the moment, so no OpenGL games will work, but games using Direct3D (most) will work fine.

thank you.. i solved the problema and now i can play..

i just installed the Windows 7 64 bit 301.xx drivers over my Windows 8 64 bits.. right now i'm not having any kind of problems.. so if you have this kind of trouble, try it yourselves.. , dont use the Windows 8 drivers or you wont be able to play

Thank you all for your time

If u know how u can install drivers from win xp ^^

And W8 have back compatibility with W7 drivers. And 90% of my laptop drivers are for Vista (I don't have Acer support for any other system) and all works fine

Windows XP will not work 100%, it is a different OS compared to Vista/7, especially Windows 8.
