Returning Player w/ Repeated Crashes

I'd need the full model number to be able to tell for sure, but it looks like the newest drivers for your video card on the HP site are going to be from around April of 2009. That's newer than what you have, but still a bit old. Since you can see your full model number and possibly some other identifier like a serial number or some-such, I'd recommend heading to the HP website and looking to see if there is a newer video chipset driver available for your exact laptop model.
If that fails, you can "try" to install the official Intel driver that can be found on the Intel website here. It may not install due to tweaks by HP, but it won't hurt it to try it. There are known problems with the lower end graphics solutions like the Intel onboard graphics chipsets and older ATI and nVidia graphics cards, but they have released several patches to help those and are still looking into what they can do to help those players (besides breaking the game by putting broken code back into the game).
I'd recommend turning World Texture Level down to Low or Medium. Also, change your Maximum Particles to around 10000 or so. I wouldn't run it any higher than 25050 on your system.
You have a LOT of stuff running at Start up that doesn't need to be running (all of those entries in HiJackThis that start with O4). I'd kill off anything that doesn't absolutely HAVE to be running to free up memory and resources.
I'd also recommend downloading, installing, updating and running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to scan for and remove malware on your computer such as the MyWebSearch garbage.
If you are connecting wirelessly that may also be causing part of your problems. There have been reports since I17 released that wireless connections are dropping. I'd suspect it's a buffer overflow on the wireless controller in the router, but I don't have anything running Wireless that can play the game anymore. Well, nothing besides standing in place chatting or posing for screenshots taken from my second account running on the main computer. You might want to try searching for some of those threads in this section of the forums, they may have a suggestion to help you.
Good luck.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
If the drivers from Intel won't install, there are instructions here: http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-022355.htm to get around the problem. But doing so can cause other issues.
I'll also note in addition to what TJ suggested that your hard drives are very full. This can impact system performance. Windows generally prefers you to have 20+% free space on the main drive in particular. I'd suggest doing some spring cleaning.
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
Thanks for your help on this Texas and Back. I can't remember how I fixed the problem but I did want to look up my old thread and throw my Thanks out for those that take the time to help. You guys are the best!
Hello all! After a 2 year absence, I have returned to the game! Glad to be back, new graphics look great and a lot of fun looks like it is lined up....only one problem. The longest I've been able to play is approx. 15 at a time (sometimes less).
I'm on an HP Laptop,1 yr old. As best as I can tell, it is in much better shape than my old HP desktop as far as performance abilities yet I continue to crash. No ryhme or reason is to when and where but here are the reports:

I did an unistall today and reinstall/update. Tried to verify the files as well and nothing has worked thus far...any suggestions?
