Solved: 8 Years, 1 Month ago black screen when starting a new game

I'm having a problem with penumbra overture!
I have a Centrino duo 1.66ghz, with 1gb RAM, but my graphics cards sucks, its from the Intel 945G chipset family... it has Pixel shader v2, claims to have vertex shader x2, but it's software emulated, something like that, and doesnt have TNL(this last one pisses me off!)
usually i have to use 3DAnalyze to force TNL emulation...

but back to the point, when i start a new game, after the loading ends, i get a black screen, CPU Usage for the games stays at about 45~55%... i can hear the sounds but can't see anything.

oh btw, i lowered every graphics option...

here's the HPL.log

I am afraid your graphics card is not supported. See here for supported cards:
