Such an integrated graphics chipset is below minimum requirements for the game. Some are able to run CoH with integrated graphics, but only on a very very clean machine (no other programs running in the background) and on the lowest graphics settings.
You can try going to your manufacturer's website and seeing if there are any updated drivers for the chipset, motherboard, or CPU/BIOS.
To determine how clean your machine is, please post the results of HijackThis - it will show us what's running on your computer concurrently with CoH. Click on "Do a system Scan and save a logfile." It will automatically open up Notepad and put the info there. Make sure Wordwrap is off in Notepad (Format > Wordwrap unchecked) before you cut and paste here.
The good news is that with a Graphics Card upgrade, you'll get excellent results from your machine.

I start it, when it gets to some pigg file, it freezes the CoH update then eventually freezes my whole computer. I'm on Windows Vista Sp2, just upgraded and it still does it. Just started doing this yesterday.
