I import an STL into Slic3r (v1.2.9), and export it as GCODE.

I then bring the FILE.GCODE into pronterface (printrun 2014.08.01), and I get this error at LOAD FILE

The Printrun README has a list of prerequisites for Windows installations:
https://github.com/kliment/Printrun

If you haven't run through that list, doing so should either fix the problem or point you in the right direction.

However, it certainly sounds like the OpenGL driver on that laptop isn't up to current expectations. Given that OpenGL 1.2 arrived before the turn of the millennium, it must be running something truly ancient or horrifically incompatible:

Can you update the graphic drivers to whatever the most recent version might be?

If not, then you're pretty much sunk...
