Graphics troubles with Silent Hill 3 for the PC?

When I load up Silent Hill 3, it freezes at the very beginning. When it freezes, I can click escape and hit load game, but then it freezes and I can't move or anything.

Does anyone know how I can get this thing working? I've downloaded 3d analyzer and tried various settings, but it doesn't seem to work still. I have the latest drivers and everything.

Help please, I would really like to play this game...

Update:

Yeah, I figured that would be the case. Oh well =/.

    you want to play a game with that thing? a mobile 965? integrated intel? only thing you can do, buy a new pc. or get some low graphics hack. i'm surprised you got it up that far, it should have a minimum requirement feature that would restrict you from running it....

    and since your aged laptop cannot upgrade graphics...

    please see the game manual and check whether your computer satidfies the minimum requirements .
