Before giving up you might want to try one thing that has always worked for me. It goes against everything you have been reading, but if you can't play, whats the harm?
Roll back your video drivers...
Roll them back one version at a time <-- Ok I usually go two, but I am being cautious here.
Then see if it works.
I hope it helps.
