Solved: 8 Years, 1 Month ago Non-Steam Amnesia crashes at launch

So i recently got the Humble Bundle 5 (without Steam keys) and installed all the games, including Amnesia. But when i tried to launch it the screen flickered, the resolution changed, changed back and then this showed up:

I already read the Troubleshooting guides, but i still don't know how to fix this Sad
I'm using a Laptop (Vaio VPCEB3E1E/PI) with Windows 7 64-Bit. The Amnesia Demo on Steam worked perfectly fine for me.

Really? Then why did the demo work without issues?

Looking at the log, I saw "GDI Generic", which makes it obvious. You need to update your drivers. A demo isn't like the full version.

But anyway, update your video card's drivers. Don't ask, just do it. Report back if it works or not. We're here to try and help, aren't we?

Infrequently active. Don't expect an immediate response. Best to contact me at a different locale. If I create a thread, expect me to be quite active.

Game demos aren't the same as full version games most of the time.

"GDI Generic"? That sounds like an outdated card.
