if you need any more info then just ask.

This is your crash trace:
http://buildbot.eat-peet.net/spring/sta ... 15944.html
Sorry to say, but your graphics "card" is probably not good enough to play spring. The crash could disappear with a different graphics driver, but there is little hope to run the game with acceptable performance.

Edit: Oh, and this GL version of 1.2 probably is the final nail in your coffin. Spring needs a higher GL version. Cannot remember if it was 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5 though.

ahh... ok. i wasn't sure it would run in the first place anyway. i've had problems with opengl before on this computer. actually i don't think i've ever been able to get any game with opengl working.

oh and just to say its a integrated "card" with 32MB(can go up to 64MB) of video ram and 200MHz gpu.

Interesting... I have a netbook with a Via CPU and GPU. I am able to run Spring with almost no graphics problems. However my CPU is so weak that the game runs very very slowly so that is my bottleneck.
