If this machine has an integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics chip, like the one
I looked up online then it doesn't have any vertex, pixel shaders nor
transform and lighting in hardware and this will severely limit what games
will run on it.

Lots of 3d games will disable shading if your video card doesn't have it,
but some require it. Check the box on the back. In the tiny print, look for
minimum requirements or specifications.

If it says requires vertex or pixel shading video card, yeah, you might be
outta luck.

Link to your computer support page at toshiba.com... under Detailed Specs it
says... Intel 945GM Graphics Chip. After poking around Intel's site a bit.
Yeah, no pixel or vertex support for that chipset.
