Welcome Mate,

I don't see anything in your specs that jumps out at me that would prevent you from playing the game.

Question: After you see the videos, do you hear any sounds over a black screen, or does it crash to desktop?

If you can hear sounds/music with a black screen you should try changing your screen resolution. Try playing with several different settings.

Look around here on the site for topics about resolution to learn what tweaks are possible.

Code:
Intel® 82945G Express Chipset Family
Intel integrated graphics card is never a good thing; they don't like these games.
Using SwiftShader (http://www.moddb.com/mods/gentlemen-of-fortune/downloads/swiftshader-v20-demo) will allow it to run, but not smoothly.
Your best bet is to put another GFX card into your computer; doesn't need to be an excessively good one, as long as it's not an Intel integrated one.
