[FIXED] Game Crashes when trying to run a 3D stage

Well, it is, what it says above and as you can imagine its a bit of a pain! Basically any time i try to do a 3D race in any part of the game other than on the track the game crashes. The 3D race starts to load and then crashes every time. The loading bar always says "stream read" when it dies! The rest of the game seems to work lovely, i can play career mode etc as long as i simulate the stages, which obviously isn't what i bought the game for!

What more do you need to know to help?

I am very sorry but the INTEL Q35 integrated graphics controller is not supported.
Too slow and not fully Microsoft DirectX compatible.
The minimum required is an INTEL HD 2000 integrated graphics controller.
But an AMD RADEON HD or a NVIDIA GEFORCE graphics card is recommended for gaming.
You can upgrade your desktop computer by installing a graphics card.
Otherwise, please return the game to the retailer for a refund.

Thanks for the reply. It was exactly what i feared so i upgraded my graphics card over the weekend and the game now runs fine. Thanks again for the reply and help (of sorts).
