Isn't that an "integrated" video device?  If so, it is likely that you are turning up to setings that the card can't support.  And I think it uses shared RAM (which means it takes system RAM to run. SO if you don;t have a lot of RAM on board....... like maybe in a laptop..... and you are running XP...and you are running fs2004... and now your graphic card is trying to "steal" a bunch of RAM...... poof!

Just guessin .

best,
