You should post the log that pops up on your screen so that we can see what the specific issue is.
Odds are, given the age of the system (from around 2008?), you don't have a graphics processor that supports the required OpenGL version, either due to design flaws or bugs in the driver. Going from specs online, this is one of the Intel chips that has issues with running any OpenGL based software. The best suggestion without knowing more is to verify you're running a 64-bit version of Windows and have the 64-bit version of Java installed. You may need to manually download it from

That is only a "best guess," though. For specific information and troubleshooting, we need to know any crash reports, what operating system is being used, drivers, version of Java, and potentially specific releases.
