My guess is it overheats and shuts itself down.

What kind of integrated video chip is it?

Most of them are extremely limited in what they can do. The Intel video chips are severely handicapped (check thier WEB site for details. I think they can run 2 of the top 20 games on the marlet).

Well i found somthing about S3 S3display or somthing mabye that is it?

That would be the S3 video chip. I am surprised it runs the game at all. Make sure you have the latest drivers for it, and use the folliwing in-game settings.

Resolution:800x600, no higher
Maximum Texture Size: 128

If hardware vertex option is available, try it, but it may be the cause of the problem as S3 has had a broken implementation of hardware vertex processing and I am not sure if they fixed it.

well i did try thoes exact same settings in game and it dident work i still got that error. Whare do u d/l drivers for the S3 chip?

From the motherboard or computer manufacturer. Again, I am not sure it is going to reliably work.
