    intel media accelerator cant run graphic intensive nfs shift, your video isn't strong enough to run the game

    definitely not, even with lowest graphics settings your intel media accelerator cannot run it.
    Either upgrade to a better graphics card, preferably ATI or NVIDIA or find lower graphic intensive games

    no wonder... buy a new laptop... laptops with integrated intel cards are not for gaming.. u can also buy a new DV2000 motherboard with a NVDIA card but its not worth it... the same price would buy u a new laptop....
