    or, is this the wrong place to post this?

    Here or the gaming section should be fine - but posting here shows that you're headed in the right direction. Every time I've ever seen this error it's been a driver problem - but I cant' tell you which driver you should be looking for because you haven't entered your hardware specs in your profile. Chances are, if you install/reinstall your video drivers then it should run just fine. This game uses the Quake III engine so everything Q3 based should be giving you similar errors.
