Engine crashes on intel Pentium M chip

Hello, the engine crashes when I try to run any of the examples that comes with the sdk.

I tried running on a laptop, Twinhead Durabook R15D with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 display card. The strange thing was the engine runs perfectly on my old Pentium 3 with Geforce MX display card. Are they (Intel's Mobile Graphic Accelerator) not supported yet or was there something I miss?

The problem could be anywhere, but I doubt that processor of gfx chip are the problem. Maybe gfx driver or installation (missing/corrupt media). What system are you using, and did you compile the examples on your own?

I downloaded the latest driver from Intel, and compiled the example using dev-c++ 4.9.9.2 on both my laptop and my older desktop pc with no errors. But everytime I run the exe it always caused my laptop to hang and I had to do a hard reset. It runs fine on my older desktop though. I'm really out of ideas

Here is my laptop specs:

Amt of video RAM up to 224MB shared
Diagonal screen size 15 inch

My notebook has about the same specs as yours, except for the gfx (having some ATI chip here). I did not check the windows version very well, but I could run the demo with no problems. Which deveice are you using (OpenGL, DirectX, Software)?

Aye same here. I also have a Pentium M with an ATI card.

The engine runs fine on mine. Are there any error messages that you get?

Hmm, I think thats the problem right there; I'm using the standard graphic card that comes with intel processor. Lord knows how many games couldn't run on it, heh. I got hold of my friends laptop that has an ATI card and the program works, guess I'll just work on another pc. Thanks all.
