crash after opening text crawl

[illegalcheese]

After creating my character and watching the first movie, with the text floating upwards, I hear a second or two of ambient noise and then my laptop crashes.

 

I installed my game according to the thread about how to install in vista, except I didn't run the setup.exe or the patch executable in compatibility mode. If that's likely to be causing this problem, then I'll uninstall and redo it.

 

However, I think its more likely to be a graphics problem, seeing as so many other people with low end intel gpu have the same issue. My own chipset is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset (wordy, isn't it?). I have the latest drivers, and I am running in XPsp2 compatibility mode, with all graphics properties as low as they can go. My config thingy, if anyone's interested:

So, I don't know if my gpu is just not good enough, or what (the thingy I just pasted said it met minimum requirements, and it has TnL hardware). It just keeps crashing where gameplay is supposed to start. I don't know what that's all about, I just hope there's a solution.

Try setting 'Disable movies=0' to 'Disable movies=1'. If that doesn't help, get back to me.
