Doing a quick google search on your PC model number led me to this page: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11647_na/11647_na.html

The important bit is this:

Intel 865G chipset with Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2

Which, according to a few sources I found, seems to not support shaders.

You need a new graphics card.

can you suggest the graphics cards that support pixel shading? –  Smith Apr 16 '11 at 20:00
    
Men! I said that first, not fair :) –  Notabene Apr 16 '11 at 20:12

Pretty much any card you can buy would work. –  Tetrad♦ Apr 16 '11 at 20:27
