When I try to start the game (patch 175 and 176) from the launcher it tries to open a window (only visible in the taskbar) which closes after a few seconds without being rendered or an error message. Same behavior when I try to run 'Configure Hardware' from the 'Configuration' menu of the lancher. The launcher itself runs without problems.

I'm using a WinXP SP3 system with a onboard graphic chip (Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family).
The system and graphics driver is up to date and the aditional packages have been installed.
The retail version is running fine (with the usual problems).

The following error logs might be of interest:

I can't select DirectX 9 on my retail version (the 'Configure Hardware' doesn't provide multiple options).



In most games, transform and lighting calculations can be done with acceptable performance on the processor. A small number of games that specifically check for hardware T&L support can fail to run. Older Intel® integrated graphics products do not have hardware T&L support. Check with the specific game manufacturer for any special settings required for hardware T&L if it fails.
Maybe it's the hardware T&L, but that is just a guess.
