I have a Vostro 1500 with aMobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family video card. Does anyone know how to get this to work. 3 out of 6 games I have purchased have similar issues and I cannot get refunds. I wish they would post the systems and cards that do not work with each game so we could choose toi purchase something else, instead of just throwing money away. I would love to play these games If anyone can help please let me know.

Before buying games do a search for demos - Gamershell tends to have quite a few and there are many other distributors with demos on older games. That at least lets you avoid some of the games that won't run on your system.

However I don't think GoG can do a comprehensive list of incompatible hardware simply because of the enormity of such a task. Remember it might not even be a specific bit of hardware, but a combination of specific hardware options used together. The list is pretty much too big for them to cover (heck even larger distributors can't do it).

However reading your quoted specs it sounds like you are using a laptop and sadly these can be rather a pitfall for games because they use different kinds of hardware yet again. For what it is worth I had the same problem on a laptop I tried Dragonshard with and I suspect it might simply be a game that does not like many laptop graphics cards.
I have the same problem. I managed to make it run setting compatibility mode to windows vista, but it still cashes randomly in game.

It is not just Laptops. Unfortunately after I bought the game I noticed the link for Intel Chipset problems which seems to be most integrated video cards. My Acer Netbook and Dell desktop both crash to desktop and both have Intel chipsets. It is my own fault I didn't check first I guess, GOG is trying to let people know before they buy.
