It's not uncommon for laptop manufacturers to make proprietary changes to their hardware that prevents the reference drivers from working, so they stop them from being installed usually to prevent the type problems you seem to be having.
The game doesn't (and can't) take into account the fact that you may be using proprietary hardware. It simply knows the current driver release for the video card's chipset and recommends using it.
If you have the latest drivers Acer offers, by all means continue to use them. You should be able to hit escape when the warning message appears and continue. However, should the game make use of functions your card can't handle without the current drivers, you'll likely have issues we won't be able to help with.
