Hmm, odd. Maybe you should post your specs?

And also, try turning the shaders to off and seeing what happens. My friends PC is over 6 years old and it loads everything fine, yours should work too.

(1) Update your drivers.
(2) Disk defrag.
(3) Buy a new Graphics Card.


That's mostly it, but try everything before purchasing a graphics card ;)

Graphics card driver and it wouldn't hurt to update more. Right click my computer > properties > Hardware > Device Manger > right click to update :)

Yes disk defrag compresses your computer's files so data can be transferd faster > Start > Control Panel > Administrator Tools > Computer Management > Disk Derangementer.

Yeah, you can try the Cube2 engine, the engine Sandbox is based off of (http://sauerbraten.org/), but that is meant for FPS games (although you can change it to make any other kind of game). Sandbox is by far the easiest though. There are obviously tons of other free ones but they take a bit more "know-how" to use.
