3D sim crashes

I've downloaded newest 3dsim (the first one) and when I play it, after about a minute, it makes my graphic card and the whole game crash. Then my graphic card restores and the screen starts going mad. It returns to normal when i restart my computer. I've VIA Chrome9 HC IGP Family WDDM and newest drivers for it. And this crash hasnt anything to do with the simulator settings cause i've tried with many different settings but it still crashes.

So, any help?

the chipset is a notebook chipset usually not very good for 3d apps, does it support OPEN GL ?

Thought pocsim3d also runs with older cards, important to load or activate OPEN GL !! which is in current OS no longer loaded usually automatically, so the driver needs to tell about open gl and which version of open gl its supporting.

maybei this link helps (others seem to have problems also with the open gl on this chipset):

but wehn you turn off the 3d acceleration it will be very slow I assume. Problem seems to be the open gl support for the chipset.
