Can't run Demigod, Unable to Create Direct3D, Impulse Setup Error, running a Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family

I'm wondering if I need a new chip or if I'm doing something wrong.

from Demigod Forums

Impulse says I need internet explorer 7.0 or higher, but so far I can't download ANYTHING from the microsoft website, so that's one problem. I have NVIDIA and DirectX and I don't know much about computers but the Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family information I looked up Here: http://www.intel.com/products/notebook/chipsets/945gm/945gm-overview.htm seems to say that it has 512 mb of system memory. I tried downloading countless driver software upgrades and even used some of the links on this site, but my system keeps telling me I have the most up to date drivers. Any help would be appreciated.

After some time I finally got impulse working, still can't play the game though, hoping that maybe updating the game through impulse will help.

I don't believe and intel integrated graphics are supported, but I could be wrong.  Intel graphics are very underpowered and have poor driver support.  Not very useful for running games to be honest.

At the back side of my Demigod box it says (translation from german):

"Integrated chipsets of Intel are not supported"

So I think it won't run on that integraded graphics card and even if it would, it would probabyl be too slow. This graphics is much slower than the 7400 Go of my laptop and even with that grapics the game is even with the lowest settings more or less unplayable slow.

Yes, the intel integrated graphics adapter does not meet the minimum requirements of the game.
