Fallout New Vegas Crash

[Charlydlv]

Whenever I start a new game the game crashes. These are my specs:
Intel Core i5-2410M 2.30GHz
Windows 7 Home Premium
4GB RAM
DirectX 11
Intel HD Graphics Family

Help?

It is most probably your integrated HD Graphics which is unable to support it. What you need is a dedicated video card like 8800GT atleast.

Yeah, it's a common issue with Bethesda games. They do not recognize integrated graphics cores. You'll need to do an old trick dating back to Oblivion to get the game running. You need to insert a d3d9.dll file into the Fallout: New Vegas directory.

This trick should work for Skyrim as well.
