Two things dude:-

1.It is your hardware limitation, that is why you are not able to see the BEAUTY!!(I mean JOSIE MARAN):wink:
Go and upgrade your hardware.
2.Have you tried software rendering?? Try through it. Though ..i guess this shouldn't be easy and worth!

Its a fault of your graphic driver. Go to www.intel.com and download the latest ones here
*www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel852gm/
and run the game. :)

AFAIK there is no Software rendering mode available in the Game.The safe mode is to test the Game on minimal settings & to force compatibility with the System.If the video dosen't show then I think its the Graphic driver problem.Uninstall the drivers completely and Download the new Drivers from the link that QwertyManiac provided.Make a clean install and then check the game.
