Immediate crash on startup of any game (winxp SP3, 1.14)

Hey, hey, Doom fans! First, love the engine. Been using it for a few years now. Great work!

I'm trying to install on a terrible laptop running XP SP3, with 2gig RAM and on-board Intel graphics. It's really very terrible. Just awful. And I know XP isn't really supported, but maybe I can get it going with a bit of help?

The frontend works fine, but launching any game results in an immediate 'had to shut down' error. I've tried various compatibility modes and settings. The log sayeth:
Application path: C:\Program Files\Doomsday\Bin\Doomsday.exe
Created a new 32.0 MB memory volume.
Executable: Doomsday Engine 1.14.0 (Stable 32-bit #1201) Apr 16 2014 13:04:46
RenderSystem: Loading shader definitions from read-only archive entry "data/renderer.pack/
              shaders.dei" [path "/data/doomsday.pk3/data/renderer.pack/shaders.dei"]
              from archive in read-only "(basedir)\data\doomsday.pk3"

That's as far as it gets. Short, no? I have the requirements listed here, except possibly the 3d accelleration. I'm using the Intel 945GM chipset. I'm fairly sure it has 3d acceleration. It's got the latest driver.

Any ideas?
