    You've answered your own question. Get a graphics card. You have no way of getting the game to work without one.

    it does this because your graphics card can't run the game. Buy a new graphics card then the problem should go away.

    Try not to run the game in full screen mode. Run it is window mode. Check out the game setup application there you would find the same.

    Also please make sure that your desktop resolution is set correctly. Do not keep it too low or too high.
