Game Crashing when I first log in

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.40GHz (2CPUs)
Memory: 2046MB RAM
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600)
Video Card: Intel 82865G Graphics Controller
Approx. Total Memory: 96.0 MB

I don't know much about computers, but I'm pretty sure mine meets the minimum requirements.
I've uploaded my video driver, downloaded the latest version of Java and checked on my firewall.
I can download and open Spiral Knights, but about a minute into running it, when I am in the process of creating a character, the whole game crashes, without an error message or warning.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated!

The crashing is most likey

The crashing is most likey due to your old integrated graphics device. Did you download the driver update from your computer brand's website or did you acquire a copy directly from Intel's site?

Either way, before you log in you should open the Options, click on Advanced Video Options and enable compatibility mode.

Be aware that even if you get the game to no longer crash it will run very slowly the 865G graphics controller is very old and was not designed with 3D graphics in mind.

I got the copy from Intel's

I got the copy from Intel's website. I also did what you suggested about advanced options, but I am still having the crashing issue.
Thanks for your help, there is another computer I can try the game on with better a better graphic's controller, but i use that computer primarily for work, so was hoping to avoid that option.
