    Drivers maybe but RAM does not look good, game MFG recomends 1GB on XP and below, you are running Vista which requires more and your IGP is taking from your 1GB so you end up short, pushing the minimum 512KB. The recommendation for GPU is 6600 you can't do much about that. On a IGP as old as yours the newest drivers are not always the best especially not on a game that is not the latest. Try different ones if this game is important to you.

    I used to have the same notebook but with windows xp installed. I was getting anywhere from 20-30fps on low-medium settings. try installing xp os, because i know vista cripples low ram systems. I also had laptopvideo2go drivers installed.
