You should never need to download extra software to download and install missing .dll files; it can be done manually. For example, googling "igdumd32.dll download" gave me this top result. The page is a bit of a mess, and covered with advertisements for scanners etc: ignore those. Find the button that says "Download Zip-file", and click that instead. It'll give you a list of downloads, so pick the latest version from the list and click the arrow by it, then Download.
You should get a zip file named after the .dll file you need, so extract that. Now stick the .dll file it gives you in the root folder for whatever program is giving you the dll error (usually the same folder as the main .exe file).
As for registry "cleaners" or "fixers", understand that there are really no major issues that these will actually fix. The only exception is if they were caused by very specific types of malware, in which case you would be using a specific tool anyway. There are scanners that find and help remove redundant & deprecated registry entries, but the performance boost gained by doing so is negligible with modern systems.
Still, if you would like an all-in-one cleanup tool, check out CCleaner. Here's a download link; https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard

There may be a 64-bit driver package out there (try searching "gma 4500m 64bit"), but in any case a 32-bit installer isn't going to mess anything up. If anything, it won't run at all, signaling that a 64-bit one is indeed necessary.

"I think that the problem with this video is it is highly derivative of many popular bands within the genre. Although when viewed on its own merits, it does have a deeper groove. However what it has in groove, it lacks in originality. One can't help but be reminded of such bands as Pearl Jam, White Zombie, Suicidal Tendencies and other bands that bear the mantle of so called "Alternative Rock". One is even reminded of Lorie Anderson when she wore curlers. Hehehmhm! This video speaks less to the heart and more to the sphincter. In closing, I think Korn would do well to learn more from -"
