I used a program called speccy and it says that my gpu does support open GL 2.1
However i do get the same error

Okay, now that's highly unusual. PPSSPP should at least boot up normally on your system, which actually has OpenGL 3.3 support. (Speccy is actually inaccurate in this instance)

Usually I'd recommend that you get/downgrade to the 11.11a drivers since you're using a legacy HD 4xxx series card like mine which are guaranteed to work without any issues, but your vendor is Sony which could make it diffcult since they're one of the few OEMs that hardblock the installation of generic graphics drivers from ATI/AMD, which complicates matters when it comes to driver updates.

What you have to do instead, is to cross your fingers and head to Sony's support site for your laptop and hope that they have updated ATI drivers for your card instead.

Here's a great Steam community guide that addresses the issue and suggests ways to get around the hardblock:-

EDIT:- Actually, I think Speccy is inaccurate for you due to outdated drivers on your system. Here's mine.
