Your DirectX version exceeds the minimum requirements, as does your OS version, processor speed, and RAM. So that's good.

According to this Intel page your card (Intel 945G Express) is Pixel Shader 2.0 compatible, so that doesn't seem to be the problem either. You also exceed the display memory min requirement, which is good. Your video drivers haven't been updated in a year, so that could be an issue. You may want to look for updates.
Please run the game again and when it crashes, repost the contents of your debug.err file. It gets overwritten each time you run the game, so you'll want to get it right away, before running the game again. Be sure to copy/paste the entire contents of the file, including the first line, which tells us what version of the game you are running.

I think I see your problem. You are running version 1.0 of the game. There have been several updates to the game since it originally came out.
Download our game updater, Impulse, if you don't already have it. Here's a link (http://www.impulsedriven.com/impulse_setup_full.exe). After it installs, log in with your screenname and password that you use here at the forums. Register the game and get it updated.
Report back if you have any trouble and I can walk you through it.
