I don't have a fix for that chipset, but for <$40 you can get a 32M 3D card (such as the Radeon 7000) which should solve your problem.

You spent $1400 on a computer without a good graphics card????! Lemme guess, a prebuilt one? if you build computers yourself its soo much cheaper its unbelievable.

Your best bet is a Geforce 4 MX, should be under $100

The computer that blew up with the lightning strike had a kick@$$ graphics card along with everything else. It was built by me and not from gateway or dell. The problem is the lightning hit it and honestly blew up just about everything inside of the tower, thats why im using the gateway. Ill have to go get a new v-card i guess, thanx for the suggestions.

go to the EXE subdirectory of freelancer, scroll down to where it says INTEL, and replace that section with the following: (let me know if this works)
(you could just type in the two changes if you want, its just adding TextureOffset line and deleting another one that was right under it.

i noticed my post did not include the indentation of the code, so you might be better off just manually typing in the two changes. it is just adding that one line and deleting the one four lines down from it, i think its like forcetext or somthing like that.... let me know how things go
