upload your infolog.txt, found next to spring.exe, to pastebin.com and post the link.

[f=0000000] [myGL::CheckParseErrors] Shader compilation error at index 69 (near "TEMP temp;
TEMP shadow, temp") when loading fragment-program file ARB/GroundDecalsSMF.fp:
Error, line 3: invalid option specified.
Error, line 3: invalid option specified.
Error, line 8: invalid texture target.
From that I guess it it might be something with grounddecals, maybe your graphics drivers dont like them or something. in springsettings.exe -> render detail try moving the "ground decal" slider to 0 (to the left)

ig4dev32.dll is graphics driver i think. might want to try updating?

gundamrts and its maps also use lots of effects/shaders (ie fog (needs shaders) or spawnings lots of neutral features/units on the map which can trigger some "hang detection false alert" thing) so its a bit "more likely" to crash due to problems. (though it generally isnt crashy)
You could try a smaller map and maybe a different game to see if that crashs too.
ie see if this game http://springfiles.com/spring/games/xta played on this map http://springfiles.com/spring/spring-maps/deserttriad fails

Intel typically means problems with Spring. This does not mean you should give up. Try different drivers (new and old ones) and also try to play with the game settings.

im sorry for posting so late but i still can't play and don't understand why my video card would be a problem,i think is pretty much the same as nvidia geforce 6200-6600 and it isn't that bad to play some games(except demanding ones,of course)

It is pretty much the same as an older GeForce in terms of DirectX 7/8, but not OpenGL, which Spring (As well as most non-Windows software) uses. They're different graphical standards with different requirements, Intel generally shorts both OGL support and the hardware specs.
