Expendable crashes my computer when the level loading screen reaches 100%, right before any 3D graphics are shown. It either displays a message that DirectDraw failed, urging me to restart the computer (which I have to do, since it only seems to display 256 colors after that and runs windows in a small 640x480 window) or it crashes the graphics driver with a blue screen. I tried setting several different graphics und audio options in game as well as in the setup when launching the game, all with the same result.
I've got a MacBook running WinXP under Boot Camp, with an Intel onboard graphics card. Updated to all latest drivers and service packs.
Does anyone experience the same issues and/or know a solution?

Intel onboard graphics card might be the problem. Is this the IntelGMA950 or 965 variant?

The Intel Update Utility says it's the GMA965
EDIT: The Error Message is the following by the way: "The igxprd32 display driver has stopped working normally ..."

No, the video plays fine. It crashes right at the 100% mark of the loading screen, when I start a game. I can hear the music changing to the ingame music, but then it crashes.

Does the game have a software mode in its settings? Either that or try to find some older drivers for your chipset and roll them back a couple of times to see if any of the older ones work.

There's no software mode, unfortunately. I'll try the driver rollback though.
