I cant start the demo.

I downloaded the demo for Torque and when I click on the icon the screen turns black and then shows the Send Error Report pop up. I got an Alienware computer so I dont see any reason it wouldnt show because of graphics or anything.

It seems that you don't have DirectX or Open GL on you hard drive, or at least Torque can't find them.

Doesn't matter. You can still have outdated drivers, or the like.
What Josh Moore really means is that you need to install the newer drivers that support either DirectX or OpenGL, and you can get those via your GPU manufacturer's homepage.

Hopefully.

If your system has an unintegrated(seperate) graphics card like Nvidia or ATI, then check the manufacturers website for the latest drivers.
