Hello, I have just downloaded this game from Steam. I've played for an hour and I love it. The gameplay is fresh, and the graphics are charming. However, I'm having major problems with my graphics card, which resets itself pretty much every level. I've played this in fullscreen initially, and the VPU reset causes me to blackscreen. I can hard-refresh my screen but I'm pretty much dead when I get back in the game.
I've looked around the forums and read the sticky, doing everything on there, but to no avail. I have my settings at lowest, vsync disabled, and not in fullscreen. I boot up the game (I'm in the main town) and it crashed three times when loading the level alone. By the third crash, my graphics card fails and I'm required to restart my computer.
Now I'm on a pretty old laptop, seven years old to be exact, an old DELL Latitude D600. I meet all the system requirements except my graphics card has only 32MB memory. I don't know if that is the problem or not but please don't just shrug off my problem by blaming it on this.
Here's my projectx.log:

And here's my dxdiag:

I hope you can help me solve this issue, or at least point me in the right direction.
The minimun requirements are 64mb, you have half of that. If you don't have enough memory there is no way for the game to play properly. All the required calcualtions/process/effects/etc and stuff won't fit, bottlenecking or freezing the PC.
Even if you find a workaround to make it work you may stress the machine a lot, have serious lag, graphic artifacts on screen,etc and thats bad for you.
You already said the graphics card fails and have to restart the computer. That's a warning, you are killing it.
