If you haven't already, I would go to Can You Run it and do a scan and see what it says.

Your video card uses shared memory, meaning it only has a small amount of dedicated memory, and it borrows the rest from your system RAM. Generally, games don't seem to run very well on these types of cards.

When you say you put your settings on low, you mean the actual game settings? Your dxdiag says your current mode is 1680 x 1050. Maybe try lowering your desktop settings AND your game settings.

You might have to get a better video card with more dedicated memory.
