Does the game currently work with the driver you are using? If yes, ignore the message.
The game doesn't know if there is a new driver for whatever video card installed in a system. However it can tell if the driver is X months old and runs with the assumption that there must be a newer one out there so it complains.
My folks have an old P4 Dell with a GeForce 4 MX card in it. The game complains about the driver date but it still works fine (at fairly low settings, after all it's a GF 4 MX card) and the last driver for that card came out in 2007 I think.

It tells me that about my card all the time, because mine's so old it has to use the ATI Legacy drivers, which will never be "updated". I still play fine (although it can't handle ALL the bright and shiny, I don't expect it to).
Dec out.

Problem is it runs extremely slow, like "The Matrix slow". According to this site i surpass the system requirements and the game should be running at full FPS on the high setting, yet it's running like a turtle on the lowest setting. I am using Windows Vista as my OS if this helps.|

Well first, never trust sites like that, it's not like they actually test configurations, they are simply guessing. And since I didn't sign up and log in it's not even showing me what it thinks the frame rate should be.
And sorry while Intel's GMA 4500MHD is supported, it's even slower than the GeForce 4 MX I mentioned. Here is the notebookcheck page on the GMA 4500MHD and from it I quote;
Quote:
and those "modern integrated graphics were modern in 2008". The GMA 4500MHD is 6 times slower than Intel's latest and Intel's latest is easily beaten by the most basic current discrete GPU from either AMD or nVidia.| Compared to other modern integrated graphic cards ... the GMA 4500M HD noticably slower and provides less optimized drivers for games. |
If you post a CoHHelper file (run as Administrator so we can see your game settings) we can help you tune the graphic settings but the results sure won't be "full FPS on the high settings". You can find instructions about where to get and how to run CoHHelper here.
