my laptop is only a few years old.

This should be pretty self-explanatory, hmm?

It means that your laptop's video card probably isn't 3D accelerated. Meaning, you can't do anything about it. You could try Dance With Intensity, but I doubt it would work.

when i said years, i meant months

but what would that mean its not 3d accelerated? ive seen laptops run stepmania before...

Well, it depends on the type of laptop you have. Your laptop's graphic card may be a standard one not meant for gaming. Without 3D acceleration, you can't play SM.
