You would get this under two conditions...

Your video card doesn't support Shader Model 2.0 or higher. You can't fix this, it requires a new video card.

or

Your drivers are not installed, you will want to obtain the drivers from the computer manufacturer.

I disagree. I'm having the same problem. I did everything Valenon did and nothing. I know my graphics card supports it because I was playing LoL earlier but now I can't.

A radeon HD 5570 supports this natively. There is no way on earth that you should be getting this error if everything is set up correctly.

This tends to happen on XP installs with outdated DirectX or integrated/obsolete video cards. You may not get this on a fresh-bought Vista computer and you certainly won't get this on a fresh-bought Win7 computer.
This error only appears if your hardware doesn't support it.
