I have Windows 7, a chipset instead of a graphics card, I have the latest DirectX installed, and I don't know about frameworks or whatever...
I did do DirectX manually as couldn't find where it said if I had it, if in doubt and all I'm running a Radeon HD 5470 with an i5 with windows 7 home premium. This wasn't bought as a gaming laptop, just an update of a slowly dying one! If it does run it, it will just be a bonus, I think I got deal of the century with this lappy at £499 with office (End of a clearance line display model ) so I'm happy either way. Not all of us have the funds to upgrade computers willy nilly or have the knowledge to do it ourselves.
That being said if anyone knows off hand why it isn't working I will be forever grateful
Do you know if your graphics card is the 512MB or 1024MB version of the HD 5470?
EDIT: Also, does your error message offer any additional information?
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
512mb should be fine.
Make sure you have .NET Framework 4 installed. You can get that from Microsoft's website too. Usually this is installed with Windows 7 though, but may as well try it.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
How strange. Yeah, look for updates for your graphics card drivers but aside from that I think it's more one for the Help Forum than for here.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Just so you know, a quick search online showed that two people resolved that fault by updating something called Catalyst. I have no idea what Catalyst is or if you have it, mind you.

PMSL thank yee muchly Loonybob, I shall investigate!
EDT: Catalyst is the software for ATI graphics cards I think I might be on the way to solve this!
EDT2: SUCCESS! I had to update catalyst twice before it worked but it worked! So if anyone has the same problem check if they have a ATI card. Unfortunately I only scored 749 on low I thought I'd do a lot better than that, although I guessed running would probs be not quite there. Oh well, nothing ventured and all, but the benchmark ran smoothly.
I still think the benchmark is very misleading...

ARGH this is why I hate PC gaming. Why won't you play with my chipset it's all lonely ;_;
Because computers aren't magic.
