24bit just doesn't seem to work (for me, anyway)...

Just use 16bit instead.

Could u say which graphics card you're using plz?

(If it's a Voodoo1 then you have nooo chance, but some other older cards might have updated drivers that allow 32bit to work).

Go out, get rid of the intel and get an ATI Radeon.

Well, umm lets see. You could set it to 16 bit.

Yup, yet another case of Intel's ever-so-"Extreme" graphics

LordAnki's right. Get a decent graphics card (try a Radeon 9200, they're cheap entry-level graphics cards, but they have enough power to do almost anything at 640x480).

You can try lowering the resolution - when I was using an old laptop (1998, I think) with crappy graphics, I always played games at a 320x240 32bit resolution. That might work:

Common resolutions:
320x200
320x240
512x384
640x480 <-- Default, always try this first
800x600
1024x768
1280x(cough)
1600x1200

Don't even try using 800x600 or beyond, unless it's a rotating cube. On crappier cards, higher resolutions slow everything down greatly.

If you can't upgrade your graphics, then get a new computer.

Graphic at 320x240 does not work too! No chance to get 32bit!!! Is it possible to low down the resolution of the game to 16 bit?

Well, yeah.

Look for the bit that says 'Set Display Mode 640,480,32', and change it to 'Set Display Mode w,h,d', for example, 'Set Display Mode 640,480,16', 'Set Display Mode 320,240,32', etc.
