well that error means you need to install DirectX. google it, and install the latest end user runtime.

but without a decent graphics card, that game won't run well enough to play. you need a decent dedicated card.

firstly an onboard graphics card is built into the motherboard opposed 2 an aftermarket graphics card that is installed seperatly.

d3dx9_26.dll is most likely from a bugged direct x install. so just reinstall direct x and try out your system
