Since I have an ATI Radeon (HD 4850) I realize this game probably won't look its best even if I get it running, but I'd still like to try it and see for myself. Is it because of the ATI card that I can't run the game? All drivers are up-to-date, so do I have to do anything else to make it work? I'd appreciate some advice! :)

Try to install latest
PhysX driver and in the video settings set shaders to 3.0 (default is 4.0) and disable advanced PhysX. That should help. On my Ati HD2600 the game and demo runs ok, but pretty slow.

Thanks for the tip, but how/where can I find a PhysX driver for an ATI card?

Everywhere I try to search for it I either get the answer that there was some sort of demo version of PhysX for ATI last fall which has since been revoked, or that there will never be a PhysX driver for ATI.

I'm not too used to tamper with drivers and such things so I might sound stupid, (which I'm not) but I can't wrap my mind around this. So some detailed instructions, maybe? :)

You can download the driver here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx_9.09.0408_whql.html
This driver can be used with ATI cards.

What does that mean? Does it mean that physx has been ported to openCL and now works with ATi cards (I suspect not). Or does it simply mean this patch allows for physx to be done in software.
