This mbp was passed on to me so I don't know when it was bought. I have Windows 7 Professional installed on it and just now I tried to run Rise of Nations but it said something about Rise of Nations cannot run with the monitor display mode set to 256 colors. I figured it was a hardware problem so I checked whether my drivers were up to date (they were). It turns out I have a bad graphics card: Standard VGA Graphics Adapter with 14 MB of available memory. Rise of Nations needs 16 MB memory. Any suggestions on what to do?

Specs:
Intel Core i5 M540 @ 2.53 GHz
RAM 4 GB with 2.18 GB usable on Windows
32-bit
Standard VGA Graphics Adapter with 14 MB of available memory
Windows 7 Professional
