Did you install the latest update for the card via the company website?

Have you tried clicking "Low Detail" after hitting "Play Runescape" on the Main Page?

I got the same thing. Either:

a) You're graphics card just isn't good enough, and you need a new one.

or

b) You need to download the latest drivers for your graphics card (this is what I did to fix it). Find what kind of card you have (for me using Vista it's: Start > Control Panel > System > All Devices) and visit their website to find the drivers you need.

To cut out any of the other replies that would waste time you just need a new graphics card. There's nothing that you can do about that.

This version of the game is rendered in a standalone GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) so if you don't have it, you won't be able to play it.
