Crashing on game load GM45 GPU - Icoo - 03-01-2018

Intel GM45 Express Chipset (Dell Laptop 1545), all games/roms crash the emulator and windows closes it. No error code comes up. Is it just to old of a machine?

Any ideas out there?

Cheers in advance

Can you try changing the Display Driver to OpenGL (force 1.x) before starting a game?

Thanks you very muchCool for the suggestion. Although changing it to OpenGL did not fix the issue, setting it to Software(QT) did!

I always forget to try other video renderers in the settings menu, thanks for reminding me. 

What is Software(QT) anyway? Not seen it as a option in many other emulators. 

Cheers amigo

Qt is just the name of the toolkit I'm using; here it means that I'm using its (slow) built-in image scaling.
