Well from the little of your DxDiag you posted, I see that you have an onboard graphics chipset which does not meet the minimum specifications for the game.

If you have an additional separate graphics card then you need to set it to be used for the game in its control panel or in BIOS.

[FluffyCanadianLumberjack]

so I need a new graphics card that is compatible with the game.

Hi,

Yes, I'm afraid so but I suspect you are playing on a laptop and unless you have a gaming laptop that supports an additional graphics card then you will not be able to add a graphics to that pc, sorry.
