Hi cary, Empire's a graphics intensive game, and it appears that your laptop isn't up to the task of running it (the graphics card and processor is deficient)

and why did I have to download it first over steam and I dont have the game even on my harddrive even though I installed it???

Since Empire is integrated into STEAM, you'll have to download recent updates from its network.

It wont work very well on a laptop...Get an destop with a quad, a dx 11 gpu and it will run.

If you've installed Empire, it's located in the Steam folder on your hard drive. (for most people it's C:/Program Files/Steam)

And as Prisca said, the specs of your laptop are not good enough for Empire.
