game won't even start (no mods installed)

[thetawaves]

just got the game installed onto my laptop (had it previously installed on a home computer). and when i click new game on the main menu it shows a loading screen with a moving thing in the bottom right hand corner, then quits to desktop. I've tried installing the latest drivers for the graphics card, no difference. I tried transferring a save game from the other desktop computer i have it installed on, works fine then as soon as you go to any part of an island with a shore or ship on it, it quits to the desktop after the loading screen. Any ideas folks? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" />

Computer specs:

Windows XP (media edition) version 2002, service pack 2

Intel CPU
T2050 @ 1.60GHz
1.60 GHz, 0.99 GB of RAM

Mobile Intel 945GM/GU Express Chipset family (with latest drivers)
