The fault is associated with Intel 4400-series Integrated graphics, typically associated with a laptop, and totally unsuited for running P3D. If your system has another graphics adapter, then disable the Intel 4400 adapter in your system's BIOS.

Is this system actually within the system requirements? With only the Intel graphics it would not be, because at least 2 GB of video card memory is required to "paint the picture" on your screen, so to say.

The system requirements are listed here:

Well then, does the Intel integrated graphics have 2 GB of video RAM? I doubt it.....

The solution is brutal: you need a computer that is within the minimum specs.

Be aware that in order to give a good performance you'll need a CPU that runs at over 4.5 GHz, at least 8 GB of RAM and preferably 16 GB, and a graphics card at least in nVidia's 960 range with at least 4 GB of VRAM.

Forget about AMD's CPUs and graphics cards, get Intel and nVidia.
