I think you have on board graphics (motherboard built in graphics) that's why the games complaining, avoid onboard graphics better to have a nvidia or ATI graphics card. Though does the game let you load up? If so load up the game you should be fine if you adjust the graphics in the game options.

my laptop uses intel onboard graphics, runs it fine as long as I turn all the graphics right down and don't install too many graphics mods.

It's not what the game thinks it's getting, it's what the game is actually getting. Your onboard graphics set draws memory away from the the memory required for actually running the game. A real graphics card comes with its own memory, and doesn't draw from the main memory. Built-in graphics sets are almost never good for gaming. You need a real graphics card.
