VDrift Not Running, Not Even Racing

Can't get the VDrift game working on my computer. It starts up, then it just disappears on me, without any explanation what-so-ever. Ok, I'm not completely clueless, browsing through the directory files I come across this:

ERROR: You don't have an NVIDIA or ATI/AMD card. This game may not run correctly or at all.

They should change that to the 'may not run correctly or at all'. Oh wait, that is what is says. The log gives me the following:

INFO: Starting VDrift: 2010-06-30-full, Version: , O/S: Windows

It doesn't tell me much. The support forums don't tell me more, and I know the game worked the last time I test ran it, which was about a year back, with an earlier version. Why would this not run if it did run earlier? And yes, it's the same computer. Usually games get better and not worse, but I shouldn't criticize too much, the game is open-source after all. I'm just ranting out some frustration here. If you know of a way to run the game when it won't run, let me know!

Nobody has spoken.

If you posted a comment but can't see it yet, it is probably awaiting approval.
