I am using the 945 myself and SL loads but it crashes a LOT. I can probably expect 3-4 crashes within a 2 hour period, and some crashes take me to the BOD (blue screen of death) and I am forced to restart my PC. Some of the BOD errors tell me it is one of my graphics card files so this morning I downloaded what *looked* like a newer version of the driver. I haven't been able to test it yet as I am at work but I shall try to report back soon on whether it has improved matters, although I doubt it. I have also in the past fiddled extensively with my graphics cards settings but it makes no difference as far as I could tell.

I have other games that work great. Perhaps LL can look into it from their side as well and see perhaps where the problem lies.

If anyone else has any idea please feel free to respond (/me hopes LL is listening).

Here are two things to try that worked for me.

Run SL in full screen, not in a window. For some reason this is easier on the graphics processing.

Try the Windlight First Look viewer. This viewer seems to be more forgiving of Intel graphics chips.

You could also do a search on this forum for "Intel". There has been plenty of discussion in the past. You may find a few more ideas to help.

Good luck.
