Netbooks are not gaming machines..... What game are you trying to play ?
Have you been to "can you run it" ?
Your netbook uses an Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics chipset. It has no DX9 compatibility. That is it lacks actual vertex or pixel shaders. You will need a laptop with an Intel GMA x3000 or higher to have DX9 hardware compatibility. Expect any game that requires hardware vertex or pixel shaders not to function.

Try to play games like minesweeper.
