Intel® 82865G Graphics Controller

The game will not play on your entry level system with the integrated video chip.   System requirements suggest a 64 mb video card with T&L, that you do not have, and at least 512 mb of memory.  Link below tells you of the system requirements.  You need a dedicated video card in order for it to work better.
