Hiya!
“No Hardware Acceleration” usually means you either:
1.) Have very outdated drivers for your graphics card
2.) Have a very outdated graphics card, or
3.) Have a distinct lack of anything that could be considered a graphics card
Solve this by:
1.) Updating your graphics card drivers from the manufacturer's website
2.) Buy a new graphics card, or
3.) Buy a graphics card ;}
If you don't know what graphics card you have, you can (on Windows) point to the Start button and click Run. Type "dxdiag" (no quotes) in the box and press return. In the new window, go to the Display tab, and read "Name" and "Manufacturer". "Name" is the name and model of your card, and "Manufacturer"... is self-explanatory :]
For NVidia, visit www.nvidia.com (http://www.nvidia.com)
For ATI, visit www.ati.com (http://www.ati.com)
For anything else, use www.Google.com (http://www.Google.com) to find the correct manufacturer address.

drics, please only post in one thread. Duplicate posts in multiple threads are not allowed, and efforts to help you can be better concentrated in one place.
You seem to have a mainboard driver and not a separate graphics card, which may cause some problems. You can try updating your graphics card drivers as I suggested, but if that doesn't fix anything I'm afraid that you don't meet enough of the minimum requirements to play the game. Any massive 3D game these days requires a real graphics card :} You can download drivers here (http://www.sis.com/download/). Select your operating system, then "IGP Graphics Drivers", and "SiS661FX & SiS760 series".
